From a quick look upstream, I think the only related bugreport (about RAM being an issue) would be: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21802 I'm a bit unsure about what you're getting though, it looks like several applications, including not-to-greedy ones are segfaulting (and we don't see any traces of OOM-ing). Could it be your RAM is getting a bit oldish and is starting to be on crack? As for your test with 2.6.33, could it be that some kind of core component started to crash in a similar fashion, preventing you from logging in? As a wild guess, since we have shared (as opposed to dedicated) memory, the video stuff might screw up with the rest of the memory, but wow. Maybe you could try and disable drm/dri? (The former in the kernel, the latter in X; if you want to do it the hackish way, mv the related .ko out of the way for the former, that probably should disable the latter automatically; if that's not the case, try adding option nodri to your configuration.) (Also, please keep in mind I'm very new to all this, I might be talking nonsense as well…) Mraw, KiBi.
