I get just about the same thing. I don't have to do anything to cause it
either. I just Ctrl-Alt-F1 out of X and be working on the
console. Eventually X will die. I'm waiting for it right now so I can
get the exact error message. I'm assuming it is an error with X not the
kernel. It may just be provoked by the kernel by using the drm feature
for the Voodoo (I don't see it at home with the Matrox G400, but I can't
use drm with that card).
The other thing that I see. Sometimes when I switch out of X to the
console I get this pattern of black 'b's on a red background corrupting my
display (my attempt to paste an example here with gpm didn't work so
well).
There we go, just died:
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.
This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".
[drm:drm_release] *ERROR* Process 114 dead, freeing lock for context 1
xinit: connection to X server lost.
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
Anyway, unless someone here thinks this is really a kernel problem, you
(we) should do what the error says and report it to the XFree people.
