X server crash.
Thanks for all that responds to my questions. I believe the reason why X
server crashes on my system is a minor configuration problem. Here's the
error message. I'd appreciate it if anyone can direct me to fix this
problem. Thanks in advance!

The machine is a CTX DX2 100MHz, 8 MB RAM, 540 HD (10MB for DOS, 400MB
for filesystem, 100MB for swap), 1 MB VRAM (I believe it's 256 colors)
laptop.
