I think I am experiencing the same bug -
* Thinkpad X60 (logs attached)
* Ubuntu Hardy updated as of today - crash happened last time yesterday
* Started happening some time in the hardy upgrade cycle
* Upon crashing, the screen flickers like on startup of X (backlight is turned 
completely off for a moment etc)
* It seems xorg is trying to restart, but won't.  Have tried killing xorg 
remotely and
restarting.  Does not work, must reboot - very annoying.
* GNOME, No desktop effects enabled
* No apparent reason for crashing, but seems to happen often when I run 
"heavier" OpenGL applications (tuxracer, wine/directx)
* "Lightweight" OpenGL applications work (my own homemade app has been running 
an entire night without crashing)
* It also happens when I (to my knowledge) do not run OpenGL at all.  I can be 
just moving the cursor reading a web page in firefox, and suddenly it crashes.  
* The caret/cursor disappears, the x server is really trying to restart.
* No artifacts on screen.  Turns black (and I can see the backlight switching 
on/off/on)
* Can not switch to text ttys with ctrl-alt-f1 after crash.  
* I CAN reboot with ctrl-alt-del, but there is nothing on screen
* Ubuntu Shutdown splash screen shows some times after ctrl-alt-del, but not 
always.

Last lines of attached Xorg.0.log.old (I believe this is the log from when xorg
tries to _restart_, not the session crashing initially, but I am not sure):

think."
