After one of the system upgrades my system starts to suffer from a realy strange problem for me. The X server starts to restart without any good reason. Normaly I never reboot my machine but now when I left it to night I can see the X server is killed. I can't see whats in Xorg log after such crash because xdm was restarted too several times and overwritten Xorg log. But there is some weird messages in syslog (attached) Firs Xrestart I was able to locate at 21:51 ======== Jul 6 21:51:43 pegasos entranced: The X server was terminated with signal 6.

Do you know which packages were updated for you recently? That'd really help narrow it down... Also, I'm not familiar with PPC...is that a custom kernel you're running?
It seems I located source of my problem. I downgraded the X.org package from 6. 8.99.14 to 6.8.99.13 any it seems the problem go away. I am unable to reproduce it anymore. I gues I should be more carefull when try the unfinished things :)
Could you attach an X log from after the X server restarts with .14? You should be able to find it at /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old after a restart. Take a look near the bottom, there should be a Backtrace: section -- check whether it's got more than just 1 step for the sighandler in it. Hopefully we can narrow this down a little bit more, then file an upstream bug.
Hmmm, I was unable to reproduce this problem after emerge 6.8.99.15, then it seems it's .14 "feature" :)
Good to hear it.
