Please don't be ridiculous.

This has started happening recently (by the way, I have rebooted several times and it keeps happening, not systematically at every suspend/resume but very often).
This didn't happen before, and the bios I'm using is the same, so it is clearly a REGRESSION in some recent update. Whether or not it is *triggered* by a bug in the bios,  if xorg crashes it has a bug; otherwise it would handle the error. And the fact that this didn't happen before demonstrate that whatever triggers the crash can, and hence must, be avoided.

I won't update my BIOS until Ubuntu offers a way of doing it in a simple
way without relying on another OS.

Machines with outdated bios exist out there and they'll always exist.
Ubuntu must either support them or offer a safe and easy way to upgrade
the bios.

Title:
  xorg started to systematically crash after every suspend/resume

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  - I suspended
  - I pressed a key to resume
  - the screen turned on and I was prompted for the password as usual
  - I entered the password

  => my previous session was lost, every application I had left open
  prior to suspend was closed, all unsaved data was lost and everything
  was as if I had just rebooted.

  Then I tried suspending and resuming again just for the sake of
  testing, and it happened again, exactly the same way.

  It now happens 100% of the times systematically.
  Now maybe (I hope) it will stop happening after a reboot, but for now, once it has started happening, it has become systematic.

  This is not the first time I observe it.
