Created attachment 13758 [details] Xorg.0.log from a failed restart of the X server After the X server crashes (I'm still trying to get enough detail for a bug report on the crash), the server attempts to restart, but fails. Instead, it goes into an infinite cycle of crash->start->crash->start. I can interrupt the cycle by editing xorg.conf to use the VESA video driver, by editing xorg.conf to disable hardware acceleration in the Intel driver, or by rebooting. In addition to the contents of Xorg.0.log, dmesg contains a series of lines like mtrr: type mismatch for d0000000,10000000 old: write-back new: write-combining one for each start of the X server. Hardware: Intel Q6600 CPU ASUS P5E-VM HDMI mainboard 4GB RAM
Is this the first time you use X on this machine? the driver version is kind of old... 2.1.1. Would you be able to test version 2.2.0? How about 32bit version? thanks!

I'm running Gentoo Linux, so it would take me about a day to recompile the system for 32-bit operation. I'd rather not go to the effort unless it's likely to help.
it should because the driver leave the gfx pipeline in a unconfig state. let's handle the "x server crash" bug first. could you please post more details of how your X got crashed? I rename the bug title.
