  Hi,

This bug report has been posted to the debian bugtracker for the
x-server-org deb package:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570124

This link contains an extensive bug-report together with any relevant
information available.

The description is:

# Package: xserver-xorg
# Version: 1:7.5+2
# Severity: severe
# 
# Data loss guaranteed. While writing a book, X crashed, part of the book had
# to be re-written.
# 
# Whether using the system or not, X crashes semi-reproducibly. Be it after a 
# suspend-resume cycle or while just browsing the net, using openoffice writer, 
# doing nothing.. It just keeps crashing one day or the other. Mean times between
# crashing is from 2 hours to 2 days, sometimes more, sometimes less.
# 
# When the system crashes after opening the cover/lid it usually takes the whole kernel 
# down. Reboot only.
# 
# Less often but often enough, the crashing X just hangs, locking the
# system up. Reboot only.
# 
# This is occurring since january 2009 (switch-over to linux) over a variety of 
# kernel, kms, intel-drv and X versions. May well be different causes but 
# seems quite the same to us..
# 
# System is a rather usual ACER Extensa 5220 notebook.

A complete bug-report is available via the above link. 

The answer - among other ideas - was that if the kernel is 
hanging/freezing it is supposed to be reported to the lkml.

So posting here, fyi.

Thank you.

Nils
