"page table error" appeared in Xorg.0.log.old file.
This is a log file for X.org failed restart attempt after a crash.
This restart attempt left a screen blank, and "page table error" line
in the log file. "text" VTs were also blank. I restarted the laptop.
Then, reportbug tool grabbed Xorg.0.log file after successful X.org
startup.

I will try to catch Xorg.0.log after a crash. Now I am searching
how to prevent gdm or X.org from restarting, so I can save log files
after a crash.

Probably, I will disable gdm in /etc/rc*.d/ directories and start
gdm manually from a command line.
