Yes, it was the same day (10 Feb):

perseus:[~] ls -ld /var/log/dist-upgrade/20110210-1440 /var/crash/xserver-xorg-video-intel.2011-02-10_22:11:58.243858.crash

drwxr-x--- 2 root root    4096 2011-02-10 14:40 /var/log/dist-upgrade/20110210-1440

However, I had rebooted:

reboot   system boot  2.6.38-2-generic Thu Feb 10 20:39 - 22:14  (01:34)    
reboot   system boot  2.6.35-26-generi Tue Feb  8 23:27 - 20:37 (1+21:10)

Yes.  Two days later, I experienced a very similar crash, which also happened
when I tried to start playing a video.  It exhibited the same pattern of three
crash reports very close together:

-rw------- 1 root root 2819890 2011-02-12 20:48 xserver-xorg-video-intel.2011-02-12_20:48:22.773394.crash
-rw------- 1 root root 2820327 2011-02-12 20:48 xserver-xorg-video-intel.2011-02-12_20:48:25.284755.crash
-rw------- 1 root root 2838926 2011-02-12 20:48 xserver-xorg-video-intel.2011-02-12_20:48:28.956356.crash

apport doesn't want to report them because some packages (including
xserver-xorg-video-intel) have newer versions available.  Do you want me to
force it?
