Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

output from lsb_release -rd:

Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release: 9.04

output from apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel:

xserver-xorg-video-intel:
  Installerad: 2:2.6.1-1ubuntu3
  Kandidat: 2:2.6.1-1ubuntu3
  Versionstabell:

Expected result:
I can use my eeepc 901 witout being afraid data will get lost.

Actual result:

I find my Asus eeepc 901 crashing at seemingly random intervals, it can take a couple of minutes or a couple of hours and it happens even when I have no special gnome desktop appications running. What happens is that the screen suddenly just goes black and I find myself at the login screen.

I am using jaunty with the latest updates, but this problem also occurred when using ubuntu 8.10.

When I look at the logs (syslog) I can see the following entries at the exact time of the crash:

What more information can I provide to ease solving this problem?
