Hi Jacques, Thanks for your reply! It is not only X that hangs. It is strange enough, the whole system. First thing I try is CTRL-ALT-F2 or F3. But no response to this nor Ctrl +Alt-Backspace. Even the SysRq does not respond. I've version 1.60.1+nmu2 installed. Force version is greyed out in Synaptic. Any suggestions how to try an older version on Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10?
