[Bug 1378487] [NEW] x server keeps crashing

 

Public bug reported:

While I am using Ubuntu the x-server keeps freezing on me. I still can
hear sounds coming from open applications and when I click blindly
around, I get responses; but from my perspective everything is frozen in
place. I am able to work around this by pressing ctrl-alt-f2 whenever it
happens, but it occurs so frequently that it inhibits any work or play
that I try to do on the system. Hopefully there is a fix to this
problem.

Thank you.
