Thanx for your answer, Bryce. I'm ssh'ing from home now and I see that friday night it happened again (I left the pc logged it and with a regular bunch of apps running just for testing). I'm attaching Xorg.0.log. Below is also the output of lspci. Regarding the backtrace, I'll install the packages with the debug symbols and leave again the pc logged in. I have a couple of questions, though... since it seems I can't force this to happen other than "waiting it happens during the night (or a long unattended period)". Should I launch gdb from another computer or will it suffice if I run it from a text console like tty1 or tty2?
