When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages.
This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".



The X server is linked to some X server called XFree86

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  7 Nov  8 06:35 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -> XFree86

any ideas as to what may be the problem?


Thank you
