The X server crashes triggered by switching back from fullscreen mode (I found this to happen using flash player (e.g. youtube) or in some openGL application using a fullscreen mode). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run some youtube video in flash player 2. switch to fullscreen view (using button in flashplayer) 3. try to switch back using ESC Actual Results: X server crashes. Expected Results: don't crash I'm not entirely sure, but I think the intel driver is to blame. It had an update recently and I never experienced xserver crashes before. my gfx chip is a 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) and I use Kernel 2.6.37.2 x11-base/xorg-server-1.9.4 x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.14.0 media-libs/mesa-7.9.1 x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.23 from Xorg.0.log.old [ 198.748].

I can also reproduce the crash with mplayer using the -vo gl option mplayer -vo gl whatever.avi then switching to fullscreen mode and back
The problem seems to be in mesa code. Do you use OpenGL compositing desktop effects? If yes, does the problem happen with compositing disabled? You could also try upgrading to mesa-7.10 and see if the problem still exists there.
Yes I use compositing effects. If I turn them off the problem is gone. I updated to mesa-7.10-r1 and (with compositing enabled) the problem is still there, even if it occurs less frequently. Sometimes, X does not crash but weird artifacts (parts of windows, incomplete windows etc) show up if I move windows or switch desktops. However, after switching openGL fullscreen apps a few times X always crashes. Xorg.log looks as in the first post.
Please attach your dmesg output.

I have the same issue. I haven't tried moving windows or switching desktops though. Here is my upstream bug report I'm on x86 though. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35126
