what graphic board do you have, what kernel are you using ? what version of the C library ?
best would be to grab the X source and compile it for yourself (you can get my xfree tarball for debian form
incoming and build the X package from them.)
try upgrading libc to the latest from ftp.debian.org ...
couldn't do anything with your strace output, don't read bin-hex stuff, it's not because i run linuxppc that i have a
mac ...
i will be off now, maybee someone else from the list can help you, if not i will repsond again tomorrow.
Friendly,
Sven LUTHER
