Hi Alan, I saw this earlier. It's odd that trying different resolutions would cause a signal 11. Normally X would just exit saying it couldn't do that resolution or fall back to a lower one. The server certainly is capable of it, I run 1024x768 on all my machines. Sometimes if your horizontal or vertical frequency range limit is too narrow, the X server may think it can't achieve the desired resolution, but still it shouldn't generate a signal 11.
