Another "me too". Sorry, I only have the segfaults that were recorded in my Xorg logs; 3 of them in short succession. My 945GM laptop has been suffering from unpredictable hangs ever since upgrading to 11.04 (32-bit), which might be related. The 3 segfaults all happened within a very short period of each other and I haven't been able to reproduce them subsequently. I dropped back to the old kernel (2.6.35-22-generic) after the 2nd one and the same thing happened.

I note that Bryce said the Xorg logged backtraces aren't of any use. However, as well as the daily lockup incidents and the short burst of 3 segfaults, I also see occasional rendering artefacts when using gedit. Could all these be related? The system was very stable before the upgrade.

The most repeatable thing I could try to debug is the lockups. Can anyone tell me how to do that? I'm almost as frustrated as with the old Ubuntu 9.04 Intel problems; but not quite yet!
