>Description:

I can start up X (server version 1.4.0) and bring up an xterm or twm.  As soon as I try to run xclock, the server crashes with:

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 4.  Server aborting

Same with gnome-terminal.  Even X clients started from other machines will bring down the server.  The only thing that I can see, that they all have in common (vs. the applications that don't crash the server: xterm, twm, xmms, glxgears, etc), is that they are linking against libXrender.  However, even turning off RenderAccel doesn't stop the crashing.

This happens both with the ati driver from the ports tree and the ati driver in the current freedesktop git repository.  Having built (and run) xserver 1.4 on Feisty on the same laptop, this appears to be FreeBSD specific.

I will try building the xserver from source to see if that resolves the problem.
