Ok this freeked me out. I come back to my machine after being away for several ours and I am greeted with the xdm login screen. I check my uptime and the machine hadn't rebooted or anything. So I check the xdm-log and I find this:
----- Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages xdm error (pid 327): Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly: 1536 ----- Now I am familiar with the signal 11 errors often found during kernel compiles but there was nothing running on the machine except the usual daemons, pppd and X. Swap was at about 12M/128M(netscape of course). I thought these signall 11's manifested themselves under high stress? Do I need to keep an eye open?
