Your X server log doesn't show any crash info, so it is not helpful to know what the real problem might be. It's useful nonetheless for various other info. One thing I'm a bit confused by though, is that this is filed against Red Hat Linux 7.3/Alpha, and we do not have an Alpha product for 7.3. Did you mean to file it against 7.1 or 7.2? I believe the X version used in your log is the 7.2/Alpha X release. Is this problem still present in our released RHL 7.2/Alpha? If so, can you try using runlevel 3 and startx and let me know if it fails there too? If it fails with startx, I'll need you to get me a backtrace with ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/gdb-xfree86 from a coredump, or from starting the server with gdb directly in order to know where it is dying. Also, try disabling DRI by commenting out the: Load "dri" line If that doesn't fix it, try disabling accel with: Option "noaccel" also. Do any of the above options stop the crashing?
We no longer support Alpha officially.
