Got an odd problem here - only since I've been using v9.1 of Mandrake 
(download edition).

Every so often - and I'm talking like every 5-10-15 mins or so, X crashes back 
to the shell. Always the same message, "caught signal 11, fatal server 
error". Sometimes it crashes sitting still, no games running, no screensaver, 
just sitting there - boom - back to the shell.

I checked the Xfree logs, it just says the same thing.

I've got an Nvidia Ti4200 (64 megs) card, Soyo Dragon Plus MB, and am using 
the latest 4349 drivers.

Here is my XF86Config-4 file:
