Fatal X server error: Failed to submit to batchbuffer
- by Jan
Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx used to run fine on my computer. Since a few weeks, my X server crashes out of the blue while the computer is idle and I'm logged into a Gnome session. (I'm then greeted with a new GDM login prompt). After the crash, /var/log/gdm/:0.log.1 has the following:
Fatal server error:
Failed to submit batchbuffer: Input/output error
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support

for help.
~/.xsession-errors.old has symptoms of X clinets dying:
nm-applet: Fatal IO error 11 (Die Ressource ist zur Zeit nicht verfügbar) on X server :0.0.

Is this a known problem that can be traced back to the X server from Ubuntu repositories? How would I debug this?
Edit: There's a relevant bug on LP.
