Hi there,

I have intermittent X crashes on a rh7.2/rawhide box (using MGA driver w/
an old 4M Matrox card).  The symptoms are that every so often (varies from
twice a day to twice a week), my X session dies (startx exits), and the log
says:
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting
The rest of the log is pretty normal, and there are no immediately
preceding messages (I have the output of startx piped to multilog, and the
timestamps show that this signal happens more than 10 seconds after the
previous log line, in the latest instance).

Is there some way to find out what generated that signal to the X server?
I am running at -logverbose 5, but don't know of any other way to make the
server be more detailed about what happens just before the crash, other
than running it under gdb, which I don't want to do b/c of the infrequency
of the problem (and my need to use the server most of the time).

FWIW, the desktop environment is gnome2 running out of garnome-0.17.1.
The X version is 4.2.0 out of rawhide (XFree-4.2.0-67.6).

A server log that illustrates the problem is available at:
http://www.fischman.org/X.log .  To conserve space, I've deleted all blank
lines from the log, as well as 1337 lines that said:
(gnome-panel:11236): Wnck-WARNING **: Property _NET_WM_NAME contained invalid UTF-8

Any pointers appreciated,
