Public bug reported:

twice today X crashed and restarted gdm.

In the /var/log/syslog file i get:
gdm[3192]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0


Some discussion on similar same problem is here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96068

I am running 7.04 amd64.

To me it seems like either an out of memory thing, firefox might be a
possible cause, but it is still hard to say.

There are a bunch of somewhat similar, but I think different bugs. For example:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/138708
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/136784

The difference is that these other one deal with 3D stuff and commonly
the problem is with nvidia or the nv driver.

I am not using any effects (such as compiz etc. on this box).

relevant lspci:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 
(PCIE)]
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon X300SE]

I have ran this system without an X crash for a long time.

I will continue to post other error logs etc. as I can think of things
that might be helpful to fix this.
