Bug Description

Since upgrading to Hardy Heron, X intermittently crashes for no apparent reason.

It does not happen in any specific program, sometimes it happens when I open a Nautilus window or when I switch between workspaces.

I have a Wacom Graphire4 tablet and a dual monitor setup, will include xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old, as well as dmesg.

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04
Release: 8.04

You might try the latest version of the fglrx driver and see if it fixes the problem.

Can you enable the hardy-proposed and hardy-updates repositories, install EnvyNG so as to install the latest release of the driver?

If you can still reproduce the problem then you should report the problem to ATI:

Unfortunately I have returned the computer to the school were I was a student,
so I have no possibilty to test the issue any longer.
