Hi. I am unsure to whom this bug should be sent, so I'll send it here.
The problem manifests itself when I QUIT XFree86 (4.0.1, regular .1 release and CVS). What happens is that when I have quit X one or two times, I start getting segfaults on practically everything (sometimes it won't even catch CTRL+ALT+DELETE). The above happens on -test7 and other test kernels (I believe I have tried -test8, 9 and 10, but I am unsure), and another problem that has only happened exclusively when using 2.4.0-test11 is that I have lost TERMINFO and such (like when trying to run the editor "joe") beside the segfaults. I get the segfaults on -test11 as well, of course. This I also get on both that I have tried: When I log out and try to log in again it says "INIT: Id "cX" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes."
The above does not happen with kernel 2.2.16, 2.2.17.
My graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce DDR, using the 0.9-5 release. For -test11 I had to patch 0.9-5 (but this was only a very trivial patch, I am told).
Observer that this only happens after I have quit X. Meanwhile X is running I can compile much stuff simultaneously with a proble, re-login again and again and so on and so forth. This of course also the case before I have started X.
I have been told that there is no AGP driver in the 2.2.x kernel, and that this might be a part of the problem? This is my hardware:
Motherboard with VIA KX133 chipset Athlon K7 600 256 MB PC133 memory (256 MB swap) NVIDIA GeForce DDR Adaptec 2940 U2W/LVD <Unknown> 18 GB LVD driver
My system software:
Slackware-current from a week or so ago. Here is what ver_linux reports on 2.4.0-test11:
$ ./ver_linux -- Versions installed: (if some fields are empty or looks -- unusual then possibly you have very old versions) Linux celibacy 2.4.0-test11 #1 Wed Nov 22 14:46:05 CET 2000 i686 unknown Kernel modules 2.3.18 Gnu C egcs-2.91.66 Binutils 2.10.0.24 Linux C Library ..

I hope this report is sufficient... if not, please let me know what is lacking in it.
