Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

have been getting some random X crashes on my laptop. everything this happens. The system freezes for some seconds then am thrown into a black console. I can switch to console (tty1) but even when I try to restart kdm from there. all I see is a black screen even though the command tells me kdm is suppose to be running.
although the issue is pretty random and hard to reproduce I do notice that it happens more when my system is under load. every time I have experienced it I am either watching a video via vlc or on a skype video call. 

when this happens the only way to recover is to do a reboot. after which
I might not experience it again for days.  I have attached an xorg log
which I saved just before rebooting
