** Description changed:

  System is an old Compaq Presario 2266, Cyrix 6x86MX (M2?) CPU at 225MHz,
  256MB RAM, SiS 5597 integrated video.  Display is an Optiquest Q19wb,
  1440x900 LCD.
  
  Previously under Intrepid I was using the appropriate SiS driver
  (sis_drv.o), it was automatically detecting 1440x900 resolution and
  giving adequate performance.
  
  Now under Jaunty it refuses to use the SiS driver, always ends up using
  vesa_drv.o.  This insists on using 1024x768 resolution (the monitor
  auto-stretches the pixels, so everything's pretty chunky); and it's very
  slow.
  
  Aside from all that, and the true subject of this bug report: most times
  that I login, I am greeted by an Apport window telling me that Xorg
  dumped core.  This seems odd since Xorg is running at the very moment,
  to display that window.  It is either being started twice and succeeding
  the second time; or it's crashing during the previous shutdown.  I think
  it's at startup time because startup is very slow (as if impeded by a
  simultaneous crash dump), while shutdown is so fast that I doubt a dump
  could be written in the given time.
  
  The dumps don't seem to cause any actual service outage, besides waiting
  for the dump to complete and telling Apport to go away (or in this case,
  report it).
  
  Has been happening since I first installed Xubuntu from the alpha-4 i386
  alternate CD.  I've been keeping it updated since then (installing the
  latest packages every 24-or-less hours).  Several kernel updates have
  gone by, and at least one Xorg update, but the same thing is still
  happening.
  
  Hope this helps,
