[Bug 452316] [NEW] Xorg randomly crashes to shell with multicoloured box on text-console and doesn't restart

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

Usually it's when I click an item in my taskbar (Which is at the top of
my second monitor).

I have dual widescreen, Dell. THe card is an ATi Radeon HD 2400 XT

Today it did it when my machine was under heavy load and I clicked
calendar.

It wont reload X automatically, I have to reboot.

This has happened to me for maybe 1 year now, it stopped 5 months ago,
for 3 months, and is now back. It is happening every single day now.

The screens drop to the text display, show a big multicoloured box, then
flash back to the information which was on my console before GDM started
up.

Backtrace:
0: /usr/bin/X(xorg_backtrace+0x3b) [0x813518b]
1: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x55) [0x80c7be5]
