Hi Wenzhuo Zhang!

We need your help!  When something is broken, the only way to fix it
is to understand what is broken, how it got broken, why it got broken,
so we can determine how to fix it.

Please have your teams grab the updated X, have it break as it did,
and then send a report to your mentioned developers containing a list
of the hardware used, software used, Versions of all, and the files
recovered from /var/log/ Xorg.0.log dmesg kern.log messages syslog
udev (all files after /var/log are in /var/log).

I know this may seem a lot to ask and probably is impractical at this
point but Ubuntu is a community effort.

Thanks!

Tod
