No, -probeonly fails in exactly the same way. But I hit paydirt in the kernel logs: Sep 9 18:30:53 [kernel] PAX: terminating task: /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86(XFree86):6729, uid/euid: 0/0, EIP: 08247BB8, ESP: BFF7F02C Sep 9 18:33:15 [kernel] PAX: terminating task: /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86(XFree86):14043, uid/euid: 0/0, EIP: 08247BB8, ESP: BFFF435C Sep 9 18:36:13 [kernel] PAX: terminating task: /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86(XFree86):23363, uid/euid: 0/0, EIP: 08247BB8, ESP: BFF31D0C o So it IS the kernel's fault. Google says PAX controls security. I have someplace to start now, but feel free to shout out the quick fix if you see one. Thanks everyone. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
