I've found that an Alt-SysRq-k (kill all processes on current virtual
console) is a much safer way to restart X after this error occurs.
Certainly safer than pulling the power.
I have this exact issue on a system running:
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//i810_drv.so
(II) Module i81
precisely, my editor defaults to /etc/alternatives/editor, which I
have now changed to vim, so I'm happy.
Either this behaviour should be changed to be in line with the man page
or the man page should be changed to be in line with the behaviour.
Thank you
