The Xlib error is, IIRC, pretty much standard for when X exits unexpectedly. A red herring. I'd seen something similar with WDM trying to do an inetd startup of VNC. I'd strongly suspect a bad DIMM. I'd try pulling RAM chips until the problem goes away. Then put the bad chip back in and run memtest86 on it (available as a Debian package of the same name). Peace. -- Karsten M.
