Also, I have Nvidia 6200, using the 180.xx driver (I believe 37 was 8.10, 44 now 9.04).

As a whole, I am impressed with Jaunty, but it cannot be used until this issue is resolved.

The others are correct, I see in the logs (last -n15) indicated crash, but ALAS the word appears in no other log:

Funny, I guess I haven't had to use the power button to kill the machine before, that could be why I don't know the 'crash' status.

For the developers out there, I do applaud your efforts, I know dealing with many hardware types cannot be predicted flawlessly; but, is there any way I could help you determine the approximate problem? Have you been able to reproduce this odd little bug? Do you have a suspicious culprit that can be tested?
