after Xorg upgrade...X crashes unexpectedly and randomly

[Dino Vliet]

Dear FreeBSD people,

I've upgraded Xorg a while ago and since then I've been experiencing random Xorg crashes all over.

My system is a amd 64 CPU running FreeBSD 6.2 where uname -a gives:

FreeBSD zouk.tiscali.nl 6.2-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p5 #14: Sun Jun  3 10:40:42 CEST 2007     root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL  amd64

The contents of my /etc/make.conf is:

My Xorg.conf file looks like:

EndSection

                Depth     8
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     15
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     16
        EndSubSection

Hope somebody can help me out with this one.

The crash behaves in the following way. I'm using gnome as a windowmanager and I can be busy in firefox (in fact I observed it oly when I was browsing but I guess it could happen during other activities as well) when all of a sudden the windows goes black and am in a console seeing this error message:

Login: Jul 15 12:51:07 zouk gdm[1082]: Error reinitializing server

Then the follwing message is repeated two times:

Jul 15 12:51:08 zouk gdm[10143]: gdm_slave_xio error_handler: Fatal X error- Restarting: 0

Then another error message:

Jul 15 12:51:14 zouk gdm[1074]: Failed to start X server several times in a short time period: disabling display : 0

My Xorg.log file looks like this:
