I don't think this is an X issue. The message about the X server terminating
unexpectedly is from kdm. There's nothing in either Xorg.0.log or
Xorg.0.log.old
about the cause of the termination.
In reviewing various forum threads about opensuse 11.0 and 11.1, there was one
comment about acpi being the cause of many lockups in previous versions:
http://forums.opensuse.org/install-boot-login/403483-11-1-systems-locking-up...
2.6.27.10-2-debug has now run for more than 24 hours with acpi=no added to the
kernel boot command. Had one crash with 2.6.27.10-2-debug using pci=noacpi.
acpi=no didn't help with default kernel. So, there are probably multiple
problems.
Running dmesg, I see with 2.6.27.10-2-debug:
BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f800 (usable)

DMI present.
AMI BIOS detected: BIOS may corrupt low RAM, working it around.
The mainline kernel patch to fix the low RAM corruption was applied to
mainline on 11-11-2008. Possibly, the default kernel doesn't have this
fix.
So, how do we debug acpi problems?
