Subject:   [2.2.5] 2 problems with X server, please help

Hi all,

I am running 2.2.5R with the stock X server version (can't remember
what it is now) and the actual X server binary is:

XF86_S3V 

However, vey frequently, the X server will just get killed and
with the follwing logs:

X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
xterm: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server ":0.0"
xinit: unexpected signal 1

Is anyone else seeing this problem ? This is annoying because I have
to restart many of the process, and note I do not always start the
same process so I don't put them all in .xinitrc file.

The other problem is that sometimes after X starts up, I get a
blank X screen with no window manager or other clients specified in
.xinitrc file at all and I have to kill (ctrl-alt-backspace) that
session and restart, but the next session will usually comes up with
a frozen mouse pointer even though window manager and other X clients
do start up properly. The only way out is to reboot the whole system
before I can get it working, but sometime need a few reboot! Does any 
one have similar problem like this ?

Should I go for the latest (which is ?) version of X server?


Thanks in advance.
