Manuel López-Ibáñez, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Thank you for your understanding.

Almost every time I activate the webcam in skype (sometimes when someone else activates it during a call), the whole X server crashes with: Backtrace: [ 6405.201] 0: /usr/bin/X (xorg_backtrace+0x37) [0xb777b837] [ 6405.202] 1: /usr/bin/X (0xb75f3000+0x18c5ba) [0xb777f5ba] [ 6405.202] 2: (vdso) (__kernel_rt_sigreturn+0x0) [0xb75d040c] [ 6405.202] 3: /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xb7232000+0x136cf6) [0xb7368cf6] [ 6405.202] 4: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/extra-modules.dpkg-tmp/modules/glesx.so (0xb455f000+0xe5fb8) [0xb4644fb8] [ 6405.202] 5: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/extra-modules.dpkg-tmp/modules/glesx.so (0xb455f000+0xe62e3) [0xb46452e3] [ 6405.202] 6: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/extra-modules.dpkg-tmp/modules/glesx.so (0xb455f000+0xf7850) [0xb4656850] [ 6405.202] 7: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/extra-modules.dpkg-tmp/modules/glesx.so (0xb455f000+0x119946) [0xb4678946] [ 6405.202] 8: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/extra-modules.dpkg-tmp/modules/glesx.so (0xb455f000+0x11a452) [0xb4679452] [ 6405.202] 9: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/extra-modules.dpkg-tmp/modules/glesx.so (0xb455f000+0x777e9) [0xb45d67e9] [ 6405.202] 10: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/extra-modules.dpkg-tmp/modules/glesx.so (0xb455f000+0x6a385) [0xb45c9385] [ 6405.202] 11: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/extra-modules.dpkg-tmp/modules/glesx.so (0xb455f000+0x679b4) [0xb45c69b4] [ 6405.202] 12: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/extra-modules.dpkg-tmp/modules/glesx.so (esutUpdateSurfData+0x2e) [0xb45c59fe] [ 6405.202] 13: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/extra-modules.dpkg-tmp/modules/amdxmm.so (X740XvPutImage+0x640) [0xb452f9d0] [ 6405.203] 14: /usr/bin/X (0xb75f3000+0x95000) [0xb7688000] [ 6405.203] Segmentation fault at address 0xa9a6f000 [ 6405.203] Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault).
