Re: XFree crashing on kernel 2.4.28
BTW. Has anyone got a coredump from the X server crash? I don't remember
the exact rules for when a coredump is produced but /usr/X11R6/bin/X is
setuid and setgid so that probably stops it producing a core. Maybe try
doing
chmod u-s /usr/X11R6/bin/X
chmod g-s /usr/X11R6/bin/X
then start X as root and see if that gives a coredump.
Get a backtrace with
gdb /usr/X11R6/bin/X core
using the "where" command (and probably lots more). That will probably
help to identify what is happening (of course the non-debug version of X
probably doesn't have symbols but it might give something of use)
