I can't say for sure this is what is causing my X to hang.. but I do see the same error.

When I click on an icon to launch an application, I get an orange'ish line vertically up and down the whole left side of my screen (external screen). When it hangs, that line often stays there.. and I have to switch to a console and kill X to get my computer back. It is getting bad.. I lose everything I was doing.. and it happens quite often. I'm on Ubuntu 9.04 Linux degrofft61 2.6.28-15-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 29 08:54:56 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.7.1-0ubuntu1~xup~1 It also seems to happen more often than note when I launch Lotus Notes, Rational Application Developer, or tn5250j. I don't know that is related.. but that is when I seem to hit this.
