Yes, thanks. But xdm itself often causes this error. So I stopped
using xdm. Now I'm using "startx" - of course, the problem remains,
but it's slightly (just a little, little bit) better. 

I don't know the reason, but my old 486 doesn't have the problem, while
586 and k6 do have. I compared the config files and found nothing particular.
I suspected usb (586 and k6 have, 486 doesn't) and tried usb-removed
kernel. My guess was wrong.

I compiled a new X server, and this was also wrong.

Tried a kernel with "options INSECURE" and turned off the aperture lkm, wrong.

I hope this problem will disappear soon.
