Hi, My X server crashes on a consistent basis without any apparent reason.
Here is the output(useful parts) of my 'startx -- -bpp 16 >& errors' command , XFree86 Version 3.3.2.3 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: July 15 1998 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.

Server aborting When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages xinit: connection to X server lost.^M I don't know what to make of it. I have a Matrox Mystique (4MB) card. Any suggestions... Thanks Rajesh
