X server crashes....
Hi,
My X server crashes on a consistent basis without any apparent
reason.
Here is the output(useful parts) of my 'startx -- -bpp 16 >& errors'
command ,

If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)

When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages
xinit: connection to X server lost.^M
I don't know what to make of it. I have a Matrox Mystique (4MB) card.
Any suggestions...
Thanks
Rajesh
