It's a Sapphire HD5770 (Radeon). Here's the .xsession-errors.old,
which I believe is the one from the crash:

There are quite a few errors in there, but nothing that I think is
directly related to it going catatonic. Bunch of network errors from
azureus, which I assume happened after whatever killed the network and
desktop.

Yes, frustrating, particularly when it's one fundamental thing after
another, like ethernet detection, printing, and basic networking.

Thanks,
