I managed to capture a couple files from two separate crash events (after rebuilding the server and chips driver with debugging on). A large binary core dump file was saved in /var/crash/Xorg.core: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21186696/var_crash_Xorg.core using the method described near the end of /usr/xenocara/README file (changing xorg.conf to set NoTrapSignals true and running startx as root with -keepPriv.) Next is a very small dbg output file that I got using the debugger though ssh, running X as an ordinary user using the 2 machine method described in http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/ServerDebugging This file was much shorter than I expected, and I had to hard reset the laptop to regain control (I don't know why). It's here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21186696/Xorg_ssh_dbg_output.txt I'm hoping one of these files reveals something of value in understanding this crash problem. Thanks for looking. Mike Beasley
