Lew,
A signal 11 some minutes into an X session is almost certainly some
form of hardware flakiness: a bad ram chip, or the motherboard clock
set too fast for the ram, or... Had a look at the signal 11 faq?
You may need to read through it a few times..

Signal 11 can also be caused by a libc.so.5/libc.so.6 version problem,
but in my experience these have always been immediate. Well, it's
worth a look.

Oops, the mono server doesn't seem to use libX11 (?) I'm using the
mono server for now just to see if it crashes trying to run an S3 card,
the other possibility for signal 11 is a server that thinks it knows
the card, but is mistaken. Well, you want the major versin of libc to
be the same in your X server and libX11, if they're not it well could
cause signal 11. Perhaps the mono server uses libdl to go after
libX11. Hmmm, the S3 server doesn't use libX11 directly, but I know I
had to relink it when I relinked libX11 with libc6.
I hope this is some use to you :-)
