WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0

[Aurius Bendikas Chang]

Binary package hint: gdm

My gdm restarts sometimes while trying to watch a video. I have RADEON 9600 PRO, using open-surce ATI drivers and running compiz. Used apport-cli to collect info about my system and report a bug. If more information is required please ask with guidlines how to collect it.

This is waht I have in logs:

Are you able to reproduce this issue? If so, please collect a full backtrace - see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing for directions.

I can not reproduce it any more. Looks like it was fixed after some updates. Anyway it was happening only if video is played with gxine. So probably it was a gxine issue. But it is not happening any more so I have marked it as invalid. Sorry for disturbing.
