I'm affected by this problem too - happens every now and then (but this morning 
already 3 times).  I'm running (uname -a):
Linux beowulf 2.6.27-12-generic #1 SMP Thu Feb 5 09:26:35 UTC 2009 i686 
GNU/Linux

After the crash, I can see in Xorg.0.log.old the backtrace:

Saw signal 11.  Server aborting.

I'm attaching my .xsession_errors as well.

Doing quick googles, I see at least a couple bugs that seem to deal with the 
same problem:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/297442
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20081

But I don't understand what the resolutions really mean as I'm not all
that Linux savvy.  All I really want to know is: is it fixed somewhere
and where/how do I pick up the fix?  Or do I have to wait for the next
Ubuntu release?
