Frequent X11 Fatal server errors (caught signal 11)

[Matthew Dillon]

:Hi,
:
:X11 starts just fine, but after a while I always get a Fatal server 
:error (caught signal 11).
:
:This happens with the intel driver. Xorg.0.log appended, together with 
:xorg.conf and dmesg.
:
:Anything I can do about it? Any hints how to track down this bug?
:
:Regards,

    Hmm.  If the server started fine and you weren't doing anything in
    particular (like switching to a different virtual console) when it
    failed, it could be an indication of a hardware problem.

    A good test for memory / hardware problems is to run a big parallel
    buildworld and see if it fails in random places (usually with an
    internal compiler error or random seg-fault).

    cd /usr/src/
    make -j 16 buildworld
