Liam, could you check if this bug also is present in Karmic and if it is
post the log files from when it crashes? I understand that you may have
to run Karmic for a while to see if it is still there, but we need to
know it is a problem with a recent version of the linux kernel and the
driver to get upstream's attention and we also would like the ubuntu
developers to spend their time on fixing bugs that will anyway be gone
in Karmic.

You other guys, from your comments I understand that this is a
relatively common problem. We would rather that you don't post your logs
here, though. This is because some of the details in your problem could
be slightly different and looking at the log files together makes it
harder to keep issues apart and report upstream. What you can do is file
a new bug report, preferably with the ubuntu-bug command on Karmic, and
indicate that you think your bug may be the same as this. If one of your
reports turn out have better log information we can mark the other bugs
as duplicates, and if something turns out to be different we can remove
the duplicate mark later. Either way, we keep the log files from each
person/computer on a separate bug report and that is necessary to keep
things manageable for the ubuntu developers and to be able to upstream
the issue efficiently.

I know Launchpad during the bug reporting really discourages filing new
bug reports if you can find a similar issue. This is unfortunate for
xorg-related packages where we much prefer separate bug reports, but is
probably a fact we have to live with.
