Xorg crashes...

[Tom Cowell]

I'm a novice here - excuse me butting int, and ignore me if this isn't useful.

If I understand correctly, you have:

a) The X Server receives SIGTERM and exits.
b) The source of the SIGTERM is unknown (but perhaps one of the
clients of the X Server).
c) You can reproduce this by starting X and the console command line.

What about tracing all of this with strace? e.g.:

strace -fo <suitable_log_file_name> startx

This will generate a vast amount of output, including the part where
the X Server receives SIGTERM and exists. Hopefully, a little bit
before this, you might see another process sending the SIGTERM with
kill().

Cheers
Tom
