X Keeps Crashing on Intel Graphics Card

[Jamie Jackson]

As of yesterday, I reverted to a bare-bones xorg.conf, but it crashed
on me again this morning.

Here's my current file:
#############
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
        Device          "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

#########

So, I should modify it to read as follows, correct?

###########
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
        Driver          "intel"
        Option "FramebufferCompression" "false"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
        Device          "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
#############
