Nearly all of the reports are on amd64, so this bug report will focus on that angle. However, there are also a small number of similar crash reports on i386. Given that i386 is more widely used than amd64, the disproportionate representation of amd64 seems noteworthy, and isn't what I'd expect if they were seeing identical issues. There are also similar sounding crash reports with GL screensavers against -nvidia, so it *might* be a mesa, kernel, or xserver issue, but we don't have enough data to say yet, so I'm leaving the -nvidia and -fglrx bugs independent for now. It's equally possible both drivers are failing due to not keeping up with some kernel or xserver API or ABI change, in which we would need independent fixes for each. Anyway, what we need to go into the next step of troubleshooting is a detailed backtrace (see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingXorg for directions). It might also help to experiment with newer or older versions of drivers and alternate kernel versions, which could pinpoint the problem to the driver or kernel, respectively.
