Now I think that there definitely is greater problem mit X, if I switch to the console, type something and then switch back, X will die. I'm using xfree 4.1 from woody, 2.4.18pre9 under an IBM thinkpad A30 (Radeon Mobility M6 LY). If someone might find the strace of the dieing xserver helpful, I can send it.

I've experienced conflict problems with kernel/BIOS APM and X APM. My solution was to put 'Option "NoPM"' in XF86Config under server flags. I still get power management in X, but it doesn't crash/logout. -- Eric G. Miller

Sometimes one of them crashes and takes X with it.
X problem - unwanted logout after 20 min
Hi, I got an unwanted logout after about 20 minutes of inactivity under X. I am using Sawfish and the only programs I running are xterms. I am not using idled or so. I think this started just after the last upgrade of parts of xfree in woody some days ago. This is really annoying, does anybody have an idea what might cause this logout?
