I've never seen anything similar not running X, don't rmemember my box
stopping in the last 12 months when not running X, I would have thought
something in that time would have triggered similar panics. =20

I've tried several X servers, off CD, debian, I just compiled X 4.0.2
which works (with the slow logout screen and no SHAPE), they all run.
But I still get the same crashes with all of them.

When it does crash my computer is locked up solid, no heartbeat and no
sysreq which shouldn't happen from user space either.

The task is always X related.
