Liam, could you check if this bug also is present in Karmic and if it is post the log files from when it crashes? I understand that you may have to run Karmic for a while to see if it is still there, but we need to know it is a problem with a recent version of the linux kernel and the driver to get upstream's attention and we also would like the ubuntu developers to spend their time on fixing bugs that will anyway be gone in Karmic.

You other guys, from your comments I understand that this is a relatively common problem. We would rather that you don't post your logs here, though. This is because some of the details in your problem could be slightly different and looking at the log files together makes it harder to keep issues apart and report upstream. What you can do is file a new bug report, preferably with the ubuntu-bug command on Karmic, and indicate that you think your bug may be the same as this. If one of your reports turn out have better log information we can mark the other bugs as duplicates, and if something turns out to be different we can remove the duplicate mark later. Either way, we keep the log files from each person/computer on a separate bug report and that is necessary to keep things manageable for the ubuntu developers and to be able to upstream the issue efficiently.

I know Launchpad during the bug reporting really discourages filing new bug reports if you can find a similar issue. This is unfortunate for xorg-related packages where we much prefer separate bug reports, but is probably a fact we have to live with.
