XFree86 4.3.0-7 is currently in Debian unstable (sid) and testing (sarge). If you still can, please see if you can get a backtrace of the core dump using gdb and the libx11-6-dbg package: Package: libx11-6-dbg [...] Description: X Window System protocol client library (unstripped) This package is useful to provide a backtrace with symbol names in a debugger; this facilitates interpretation of core dumps, and aids in finding logic errors in programs using this library (or the library itself). The library is installed in /usr/X11R6/lib/debug and can be used by placing that directory in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable when the code to be debugged is executed. . Unstripped versions of Xlib's loadable modules for internationalization support are provided in /usr/X11R6/lib/debug/X11/locale/common. Note that if you wish to debug these modules, you will need to set XLOCALEDIR to /usr/X11R6/lib/debug/X11/locale. Also note that for security reasons, unprivileged users are unable to override XLOCALEDIR in this way, so you may have to perform your debugging of the Xlib modules as root. . Non-programmers will likely have little use for this package. See the libx11-6 package for further information. [Ordinarily, I'd mail the -submitter address, but this bug is so old I'm curious to see if the mail will bounce.] -- G.
