Alistair Cunningham, 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-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

Typically, this manifests itself by my coming to the computer after leaving it overnight, only to find it at the X login screen. This happens most nights, and sometimes during the day if I leave the computer long enough. I see the following in Xorg.0.log.old: Backtrace: [253143.470] 0: /usr/bin/X (xorg_backtrace+0x37) [0x80a66f7] [253143.470] 1: /usr/bin/X (0x8048000+0x62b3a) [0x80aab3a] [253143.470] 2: (vdso) (__kernel_rt_sigreturn+0x0) [0xb786840c] [253143.470] 3: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/libglsl.so (ralloc_size+0x46) [0xb6cad356] [253143.470] 4: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/libglsl.so (rzalloc_size+0x2e) [0xb6cad3ee] [253143.470] 5: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/libglsl.so (rzalloc_array_size+0x48) [0xb6cad4c8] [253143.470] 6: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so (do_wm_prog+0x352) [0xb704d6d2] [253143.470] 7: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so (0xb6fea000+0x63b48) [0xb704db48] [253143.470] 8: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so (brw_validate_state+0x12d) [0xb70432fd] [253143.470] 9: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so (brw_draw_prims+0x2c2) [0xb702fec2] [253143.470] 10: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/libdricore.so (0xb6da3000+0x1080d1) [0xb6eab0d1] [253143.470] 11: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/libdricore.so (_mesa_meta_Clear+0x23a) [0xb6f4429a] [253143.470] 12: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so (0xb6fea000+0x21e15) [0xb700be15] [253143.470] 13: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/libdricore.so (_mesa_Clear+0x171) [0xb6ddc6b1] [253143.470] 14: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so (0xb739f000+0x64b7) [0xb73a54b7] [253143.470] 15: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so (0xb739f000+0x3bcb3) [0xb73dacb3] [253143.470] 16: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so (0xb739f000+0x3ec3f) [0xb73ddc3f] [253143.470] 17: /usr/bin/X (0x8048000+0x2a117) [0x8072117] [253143.470] 18: /usr/bin/X (0x8048000+0x1c70c) [0x806470c] [253143.471] 19: /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (__libc_start_main+0xf3) [0xb7529113] [253143.471] 20: /usr/bin/X (0x8048000+0x1ca21) [0x8064a21] [253143.471] Segmentation fault at address 0x4 [253143.521] Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault).
