[i845] Xorg crashes

[isloer]

Binary package hint: xorg

three times, the one after the other xorg crashes. Those three times firefox was running. And during the two last times, I was trying to fill in this form.
xorg also already crashed while using mypaint.
I have an intel chip-set for the image display.

Hi,
I still have crashes that seem to concern xorg. While using firefox the screen becomes black. No possibilities to get it back with
ctlr+alt+back et no tty. So, switch off on the central unity.
I have send a report through ubuntu-bug .
I just add here what you probably found in that report (a very small part of it)

~$ dmesg | tail

Hi,
 Since a new install from lifeCD(10.04 final release), on a new formated partition.
 I do not have crashes anymore.
Regards,
:))

Hi, sorry you had trouble getting Ubuntu working on your 8xx chip. I'd like to have you re-test against natty and if it's still not working right, please file a bug upstream at bugs.freedesktop.org against Xorg / Intel.

The intel driver seems to not get tested well against the 8xx chips and we've seen lots of regressions and mis-features. Unfortunately the driver code seems to be rather fragile as well, so we've found we cannot effectively patch and maintain the driver at the distro level, and thus are no longer providing development support, nor will be backporting fixes to older Ubuntu releases. You may still be able to get some technical support from places like http://askubuntu.com and similar to work around problems.
