It would be nice if you could attach gdb to the X server and get a backtrace with that (you can only do this from a remote login). Also, in order to try and reproduce the problem, it might be helpful to know which desktop environment and what kind of application mix you're running and whether it seems to happen (more likely) when doing anything in particular, or completely randomly. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer
