You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg

X sometimes crashes at random. I get a console for a few seconds then it
starts up again to the gdm login window.

This is what the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file reports about the crash,
everything priror to this has to do with the X startup.

Backtrace:

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting

I'm using Ubuntu Edgy 6.10, kernel 2.6.17-10-386
It might also be of interest that I'm using the nvidia driver (1.0-9629) on a GeForce 6600GT. (this also happened before I installed the new driver though)
lspci reports: 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 GT] (rev a2)

The version of the X server is: X Window System Version 7.1.1
