After installing Ubuntu 9.10 I faced this problem. Only twice before it
has caused a "GUI-crash" (Only cursor moves, yet I can switch to
console), and now when I came looking for more info about the trouble, I
noticed that logs on my Asus keep constantly filling up with this
report, even now as I write this.
