I don't know if it's relevant or not, but just in case: I notice when
Firefox is running I'm getting a lot of errors stating Failed to open

such file or directory I don't have an Nvidia card in this machine and
haven't a clue why
Thanks! It does indeed say 2.21.2.
However, this hasn't stopped the crashes, I'm afraid. On launching
Firefox this morning, X crashed straight out to the Ubuntu login screen
again. I'd say this happens at least 50 percent of the time. Sometimes
I'll have to try to start Firefox three or four
Thanks Chris. To get such comprehensive help is a real boon for someone
like me who's not very knowledgeable about such matters.
I copied and pasted into a terminal the commands you kindly posted, and

No, there is a slightly more complex procedure to rebuild the actual deb

If I've diagnosed this correctly (and there is no guarrantee that the
bug you hit today is still the same one), then an update of xserver-

highly recommend the packages in raring ;-)

Thanks for the advice Chris. Is there any way for me to install the
raring version of xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu 11.10?

Heh, I would have said the recommendation was to use 12.04 in order to
get the fixes backported. Having said that, it should be as easy as:
$ sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-intel
$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel
$ cd xf86-video-intel
$ ./autogen.sh
