Binary package hint: xserver-xorg

X sometimes crashes at random. I get a console for a few seconds then it starts up again to the gdm login window.

This is what the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file reports about the crash, everything priror to this has to do with the X startup.

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting

I'm using Ubuntu Edgy 6.10, kernel 2.6.17-10-386
It might also be of interest that I'm using the nvidia driver (1.0-9629) on a GeForce 6600GT.
