Tracked down a testcase using the Xorg changelog but I get a

backtrace when triggering that bug so this seems to be a different
problem. Unfortunately I also didn't get a core dump and I'm not sure
why. I added the line DAEMON_COREFILE_LIMIT="unlimited" to
/etc/sysconfig/init and changed the line in /etc/profile to "ulimit -S
-c unlimited > /dev/null 2>&1" but after crashing X I now no longer get
a backtrace in the Xorg.log (due to the NoTrapSignal option?) but I also
don't see a core dump in the home directories. What else do I have to do
to get a core dump I can feed to gdb?
IIRC it's something like 'chmod 4755 `which Xorg`' and possibly also run
the server as root, the kernel will try really really hard to not dump
core for suid binaries (rightly so).
