25 I switched to xdm and I'm getting some kind of error when xorg-server crashes:
26
27 GLib-WARNING **: GChildWatchSource: Exit status of a child process was requested but ECHILD was received by waitpid()
28
29 I can not capture the error as X crashes so I can not copy the content of the screen.

31 and "dmesg" shows:
