We would like you to provide us with more information and perform a debugging session. Which kernel are you using? is the 2.4.25 that you are running a debian package (and if so exactly which version) or a vanilla kernel you compiled your self? Please install xserver-xfree86-dbg and run a gdb session on it. Theoretically even with the code removal X should be able to fail nicely and not to segfault. Thanks a lot Fabio -- <user> fajita: step one <fajita> Whatever the problem, step one is always to look in the error log. <user> fajita: step two <fajita> When in danger or in doubt, step two is to scream and shout.
