Stephen Eisenhauer, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better.

As per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-
netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t540p an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (2.21). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New.
Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

  3) What you expected to happen

  Xorg never crashes due to segfaults.

  4) What happened instead

  Xorg crashes due to segfaults.

  I have recently seen an increase in unexpected X crashes while using
  my machine, sending me back to the login screen and losing the state
  of my open applications.

  I use a ThinkPad T540p with Intel graphics and Ubuntu 15.10 (upgraded
  from 15.04). I use Xrandr to configure and position my external and
  internal displays, including the use of the --panning/--scale/--dpi
  options to help my external display behave more like my internal HiDPI
  display (in case that's relevant to this problem).

  I heavily use PhpStorm, a JetBrains IDE from their IDEA family built
  in Java. The last two times this crash has happened to me (Friday and
  today), I was interacting with the IDE at the time. I saved a copy of
  Xorg.0.log.old both times and will attempt to attach both to this
  report (their backtraces differ a bit). During the first crash I
  believe I was simply interacting with the UI in some way; During the
  second crash, I had just clicked the window decoration's "X" button to
  close PhpStorm.

  Please let me know if there's something I can do to help diagnose the
  crash further. In the meantime, I've installed the -dbg packages for
  xorg-core and xorg-video-intel in the hopes that future backtraces
  might be more useful. If I see this crash again, I'll post the log
  here in the comments.
