The above are the current xinit settings that your system is running. As 1-off 
is init 1 and alsa is off and so forth. Bad explanation, maybe someone can 
jump in here and explain better. 
And /tmp was what I had in mind but other tmp files could be causing a 
problem, like /home/your usr/.tmp could be acting up. Not real sure but a 
memory leak might end up tying up all of your ram also. Anyone else have a 
thought? Slap me if I'm leading down the garden path. : )
