Sure thing, I'll add the dmesg file.  As for the debugging symbols, I'm sure
sure I'm clear on how to accomplish that.  I followed the link provided and
tried to do what I understood to do, which is to say I logged in from another
machine and entered:
gdb /usr/bin/Xorg $(pidof X)

The output of which was:
GNU gdb (Gentoo 7.3.1 p2) 7.3.1

For bug reporting instructions, please see:
<http://bugs.gentoo.org/>...
Reading symbols from /usr/bin/Xorg...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
(gdb) 

I then tried to start an X session on the machine itself, while leaving that in
it's current state, but nothing ever changed or output to the remotely
connected machine running debug.  The failure output on the machine itself was
the same:  Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault)

Am I not doing what you need correctly?
