Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.3+15
Severity: grave
Justification: causes data loss


xorg crashes randomly on shutdown, i.e. after the desktop environment 
shut down (closing programs and playing shutdown sound). The screen does 
not return to the normal console (tty1) but stays black instead and 
freezes the system (only switching off helps). This happened for me both 
with KDE 3 and 4 (each using the latest versions available in Debian).

Unfortunately no information about the crash is recorded in the log 
files, and I did not find a clearly reproducable pattern. It usually 
happens once a day, although I start/shutdown the system only about 2-4 
times a day. This is extremely annoying, in particular when losing data 
after working on it all day.

I am using Thinkpad X40 with an integrated Intel 855GM graphics 
controller.

Please tell me if and how I can provide further help.

The upstream bug says this got fixed in 2.5.x.  Closing.
