Hi - I'm getting X crashes (sometimes on start-up) but more frequently when the computers has run for a while or is doing intensive memory/CPU operations. The latter seems to be the trigger. I'm not sure if this is an X bug though but the error logs look like this: ################################################################################################################################################## X Window System Version 6.8.1 Release Date: 17 September 2004 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.8.1 Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.21-23.ELsmp i686 [ELF] Current Operating System: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 #1 Thu Nov 18 15:10:10 EST 2004 i686 Build Date: 16 November 2004 Build Host: bugs.build.redhat.com Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.X.Org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Thanks for any help!!! All the best, Stephen PS As a side-note freedesktop.org gives an e-mail for "is it a bug?" discussions as xorg@freedesktop.org. However, sending to this list gave an automatic rejection. :) Good call.
please attach the full X log, which should be in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Created attachment 1531 [details] The Xorg Log File The Xorg log file from a previous crash. Seems to happen when I start up 3D apps. GLXGEARS was crashing but was stable today then I tried just starting tuxracer. Everytime it crashed but just went back to the fedora OS - the third time it was a hard crash. This is log file from that session
Added the log file. Had to wait until I got a good crash. Also memtested the RAM to make sure it wasn't a memory problem I was having - was seeing 3D artifacts, looked like missing rectangles in a checkboard pattern at a fixed z distance from the screen (i.e. close objects were rendered fine, far away stuff was checkerboard). but I had a bad module, removed it, validated the RAM and then kept going. Ran glxgears saw checkerboard, but didn't crash - went into save mode, returned a checkerboard was not reproducible. Even on reboot. However, tuxracer crashed on startup - the third time freezing the system. Got the log file for that. Maybe my video card drivers are wrong. Hopefully, I'm not an idiot for submitting a bug report when it is likely pebcac. All the best.
blaming this one on the radeon drm. recommend updating to 2.6.12 or whatever the latest FC kernel is, many stability fixes since december. please reopen if this continues to be an issue.
