Resource limits probably don't allow it to be generated. > I tried also to run X in a gdb console but the server hangs. You can only run the server inside gdb in a remote session as you can't interact with gdb otherwise. Beware that gdb normally doesn't grok XFree86 modules. A patched version 4.x is available from XFree86, patches for 5.x have been posted here. Alternatively, you can build a static server for debugging.
