I am not knowledgeable enough to completely understand what the pipe A and pipe B issues actually mean other than seeing the error, and knowing that the chip is not receiving the appropriate timing of information. I can offer that perhaps for those people seeing the underrun on pipe A, and who have upgraded using

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ubuntu intrepid main

They might gain the stability I am seeing now.

I am using KDE 4.1 (kubuntu) with OpenGL desktop effects enabled. I have not experienced a crash since I modified my xorg.conf with Milan Kvasnica suggestion on 2008-12-10

I might suggest that the xorg-edgers may have modified the driver such that it works better, but I have nothing to fall back on other than my own experience.
