Problem: X session restart

For some reason, for time to time, my session of X terminates for a unknow reason.

Logs information:

Also I use the nvidia driver.

This time I sensed something and saved my work before it crash because the other times I noticed an increase disk time usage before the session ended.

Any ideas why this happens, how to solve it or how to find more about it?

Re: Problem: X session restart

Try searching google for

and see what you find.

Re: Problem: X session restart

gdm_slave_xioerror_handler is just the errorhandler in gdm that handles an X crash.
