This problem has been known for several weeks but no solutions
have been published so far. Your server's logfile (usually
"/var/log/XFree86.0.log" or similar) should contain an error
message similar to this one:

  Error in I830WaitLpRing(), now is 484199, start is 482198
  pgetbl_ctl: 0x1ffe0001 pgetbl_err: 0x0
  ipeir: 0 iphdr: 0
  LP ring tail: 7150 head: 0 len: 0 start 0
  eir: 0 esr: 0 emr: ffff

  memmode: 108 instps: 0
  hwstam: ffff ier: 0 imr: ffff iir: 0
  space: 102056 wanted 131064
  
  Fatal server error:
  lockup

Can you check that?

For me, disabling framebuffer usage helped to reduce the
frequency of crashes, i.e. make sure there is NO such entry:

  Option  "UseFBDev" "true"

in your XF86Config.


Cheers, Marcus
