To make it clear about 'Option "UseFBDev" "true"': it wasn't in the first autoconfiged xorg.conf (first backup) but it was in the xorg.conf (second backup) that resulted from my first booting in recovery mode and selecting xfix.
I never added it myself and it never appeared again later, even by using xfix.
Should I use it?
It doesn't seem to make a difference but, while I was using it, ...

I was playing with XnView in fullscreen mode when this happened :

Apr 4 04:41:58 mamou-ubuntu gdm[5312]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0

I looked in all logs and I found no better data.

Also, the system locks when I leave the computer idle for a very long time (screen saver greys out the screen, this can resume OK, but after 1 idle hour or more of grey screen, the system stops responding to anything).

What can I do to get better diagnostics?
