I have the same problem as the original submitter. I am running Mythbuntu 9.10 (with xfce4) and have gdm setup to login automatically. Unfortunately, the login fails with the "Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server" messages in .xsession-errors. If I then retry the login a few times, the login will eventually succeed and everything seems to be working as it should. After a successful login, there are no Fatal IO error messages in .xsession-errors.
After an unsuccessful attempt, I also found the following in Xorg.0.log: (II) intel(0): EDID for output TV1 (II) intel(0): Allocate new frame buffer 1024x768 stride 1024 Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/X(xorg_backtrace+0x3b) [0x8133d6b] 1: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x55) [0x80c7d35] 2: [0xfcf400] 3: /usr/bin/X [0x81132c6] 4: /usr/bin/X [0x8123a62] 5: /usr/bin/X [0x80f99f0] 6: /usr/bin/X [0x80f74ee] 7: /usr/bin/X(RRScreenSizeSet+0x6c) [0x816848c] 8: /usr/bin/X(ProcRRSetScreenConfig+0x472) [0x8168c32] 9: /usr/bin/X [0x8160cd5] 10: /usr/bin/X(Dispatch+0x35f) [0x808d17f] 11: /usr/bin/X(main+0x395) [0x8072515] 12: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0x1d5b56] 13: /usr/bin/X [0x80719c1] Saw signal 11. Server aborting. (II) Power Button: Close I have attached the complete Xorg.0.log. This is on a Mac Mini with intel graphics, which means that the problem is not specific to nvidia.
