[Bug 1511704] Re: Xorg crash (probably on window resize)

 

penalvch, thank you for your help.

I don't want to risk a BIOS update for now, so I cannot tell you if the
bug is somehow BIOS-related.

Instead, I have decided to try an update of my graphics drivers using this repo:
ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers

This "fixes" the crash problem.

So, while it may still be true, that this bug is somehow BIOS-related,
the fact that I am not experiencing any crashes since I've updated the
graphics drivers suggests that there probably is something wrong with
the graphics drivers that Ubuntu 15.10 uses by default.
