Public bug reported:

Running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with all updates on an acer TravelMate 660 including Intel 82852/855GM graphics.
I'm experiencing repeated crashes of the display/X. I have seen the problem during the past months (since I installed 10.4, in 8.4 there were no problems) and I think always while browsing the same web-page (www.dn.se - a major Swedish newspaper). Browsing other web pages works without problems.
What happens is that the screen goes mostly black, only containing some traces of the boot-log messages and then after some flashing a dialog appears that gives me some action alternatives; I have found none that really helps except "run screen in low-resolution mode" that takes me back to the login screen and then runs Ubuntu with the same resolution/colors but with decreased graphics performance (e.g. Dreamchess cursor becomes painfully slow).
I did have some trouble during installation from the Desktop CD; the graphics wasn't detected correctly so I had to pull some tweaks found on the Ubuntu forum (I'm sorry I don't remember exactly what I did) to get things working.
Xorg version: 1:7.5+5ubuntu1
Firefox version: 3.6.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1

I'm reporting this now to get a bug number; I will try using apport to
append information the next time the bug appears.
