X server crashes???

Now thats the first time I hear about this one. Do you use XFree 4.1.0 (or 
4.2.0) with the latest nvidia drivers? I'm using Trillian but with 
codeweavers's crosssover plugin and it works damn well, no crashes here...

XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510)
Release Date: 21 December 2001
        If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
            newer than the above date, look for a newer version
    	before
    	        reporting problems.  (See
    		http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
    		Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.13 i686 [ELF]
    		Module Loader present

from /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:

Section "Device"
    Identifier	"Device1"
    Driver		"vesa"
EndSection

WHAT??? why do you use the vesa driver and not nvidia's own driver?

Here's the same section on my Geforce 2 with nvidia binary only drivers

Section "Device"
        # no known options
        Identifier   "NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS (generic)"
        Driver       "nvidia"
        VendorName   "NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS (generic)"
        BoardName     "NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS (generic)"
EndSelection

Please read the README which comes with the drivers (there are 2 drivers - the 
GLX part and the kernel part) for the other modifications you'll need to 
do...

The "Vesa" driver is only good for XFree86 free driver install (I think the 
new "nv" driver in XFree86 CVS already support GeForce 4, but only 2D)

Why, that's a pretty familiar problem.

Font overload or some strange X11 calls can easily make X11 crash sometimes.
That's a well-known fact.

Debugging such a thing probably isn't terribly easy, though...

thanks. actually, I have a radeon mobility, and I'm using the vesa
driver. hetz and I talked about that off the list.

Well, you could just send the output of wine to a logfile...
