I am running arch stable on thinkpad x61s, with
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
Since yesterday or, so my Xserver crashes every half an hour or so, usually when I do something with keyboard. I guess that this means that there is some problem with the keyboard driver, or with the graphics driver (as whenever I do something with keyboard, stuff is drawn/redrawn usually).
I believe I have started sufferring from this problem a day or two ago, after a series of upgrades to xorg related packages. Can anybody give me some hints how to debug it ? Are there any log files I should check first? This makes my machine essentially unusable.

If you are using the intel driver then I guess some problems are expected to happen unfortunately, until the newer driver is stable I guess you can use an older driver (search the forum for similar/related problems).
I think the vesa driver will also work fine with intel cards although you will have _no_ acceleration at all, but better no acceleration than not stable at all.

I am using the intel driver:
Driver "intel"
VendorName "Intel Corporation"
BoardName "Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
thanks a lot - then I know what is the reason, and will keep an eye on this. Perhaps I should revert. Today no crash has happened, though. Let me see how this develops. At least I am not giving any presentations in this laptop within a week or so.
