Title:
  Frequent System Hangs

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  bill@WB4ALM-07:~$ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 13.10
  Release:	13.10
  bill@WB4ALM-07:~$apt-cache policy pkgname
  N: Unable to locate package pkgname


  
  I get frequent system hangs...
  ...sometime xorg restarts itself, many times it does not.

  Usually I have no keyboard or mouse clicks when it hangs.  Sometimes I
  can move the cursor around the screen, but am unable to click on
  anything.

  If I have an active (95 chars by 45 lines) terminal, then it will
  usually resize the terminal to the default size (80 chars by 24
  lines).

  It does not seem to matter what application software is running.  I
  have seen the problem occur with firefox, system monitor, terminal
  sessions running REXX scripts, gedit, and th file manager.

  It does not seem to have  an real pattern that I have been able to
  discover other than "SIGABRT" eventually showing up in various other
  routines such as  GNOME.

  My display card is a dual display 8600GTS with 512M onboard. I have
  been using that card since I first started with Ubuntu 8-04 and 10-04
  and it worked exceeding well until I upgraded to 12-04 (12-04, 12-10,
  13-04, 14-10)

  When I first instralled the card I was able to support 4 monitors. One monitor on one port and the other three on the second port connected thru a Tripple-togo external adapter from Matrix.  the two seperate sets of monitors were run as separate x-windows
  and I was very, very happy with that setup.

  under 12-04 and all successor versions, the seprate x-server mechanism
  has NOT functioned - resulting in my removal of the tripple-to-go
  adapter and its three monitors from this system.

  I now only run a single monitor, and am so severly plaged with XORG
  failures, that I can no longer use this system as part of my Ham Radio
  setup, as the system is too unstable to use in digital communications.

  Please note, ALL system failures have been transmitted to UBUNTU for
  the past four years.
