X Window Server Crashes Bad

[Lucas Vogel]

The first place I'd look for more info is at Red Hat's site.... The reason I 
say that is because it took me days to get my ATI card working - I ended up 
having to download a particular rpm from SuSE(my distro) and going through 
the motions getting X to point to that driver.
