Description of problem: Xorg crashes occasionally for no obvious reason. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.10.1-14.fc15.i686 How reproducible: I can't reproduce it "at will" - it just happens. Steps to Reproduce: 1. "Do stuff" until you inexplicably find yourself at the login screen again. Additional info: I am using a home-built 2.6.38.7 kernel with RV350 graphics cards and radeon.hw_i2c=1. Booting the Fedora kernel with this parameter causes KMS to fail and my monitor to complain that it is not receiving a video signal.

This bug hasn't reoccurred here for a while now, and I think what "fixed" it is that I recreated my initramfs based upon the F15 initramfs image rather than the F14 one. I've no idea *why* that might affect things though, because it's still the same Xorg, driver and xorg.conf file.
Thanks for letting us know.
