Resource limits probably don't allow it to be generated.

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.


Good luck!
