log file containing the segmentation fault

From time to time (not regular, frequency changes), while using the touchpad of my laptop (moving the mouse), the computer freezes.
Not possible to do ctrl+alt+del/bckspace to restart x
Not possible to do ctrl+alt+f1 to switch to a shell
Not possible to do a ssh to the machine
pressing power on/off does not shutdown
Only way found is a long press on the power on key to power off.

Looking at /var/log, it seems the freeze comes from a segmentation fault in the X server (tbc)
