It has happened again whilst I was having lunch today.  System had
been idle for about 4 hours and when I came back to it I had been
logged out.  Only 15 minutes ago (so it had worked perfectly up
until then) it created an /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old file with ...

Fatal server error:
Failed to submit batchbuffer: Input/output error

That is a problem with the video driver; your GPU is choking on a set of
instructions that it is supposed to execute. Which video chipset do you
use, which version of the X server and which kernel? (An Intel 845
series chipset with Sid's Xorg and kernel, maybe?)


I am running Squeeze, with Xorg and latest kernel - the chipset is
an Intel 965 (I think - motherboard is an Intel DG965S)

So the 965 chipsets still have problems with the driver as well?


I had not appreciated that there were issues - time for bug reports when this happens again


The third option is learning to live with the occasional X crash and
make sure to save all your work early and often.


Yes - its not too bad as it is only when the system is idle that it occurs. I have never had any problems with a system that is actively doing things.
