2009-01-17 09:23:08 Bryce Harrington xorg: statusexplanation Max, unfortunately none of these files show an error message or backtrace. No troubleshooting can begin until we know what the error is. Perhaps they are in one of your files in /var/log/gdm/. Look in your :0.log.1, :0.log.2, etc. to see if it indicates an error.

This means that your system has catastrophically run out of memory for some reason. This is not an Xorg bug, so I'm refiling to Ubuntu for better triaging. Meanwhile, look into why you would be running out of memory. Are you running a program that uses too much memory? Is your hardware memory bad? Do you have enough of it? There are various programs, like 'top', which you can use to display memory usage and watch the memory use of different processes so you can learn which package has the fault. Good luck!
