You might be having the same problem I reported about. This happened
when I was compiling scsi support into 2.0.34 and 2.0.35 kernels. Up
until then, I've not had a problem with X and the 2.0.34 kernel.
I got a note back that suggested there might be some problems with
egcs and the Linux kernel (not sure what versions). At any rate, I've
compiled the kernel with egcs-1.1b and previous versions, and at least
up until 2.0.34, I hadn't had a problem with it, and X ran fine (even
at -O3 -mCPU=586 -march=pentium).
Since the only thing I added in the .config was support for SCSI
cards (mine is an Adaptec 2920C, using the aic7xxx chipset) some-
thing apparently in the scsi code must not be compiling correctly,
but I am skeptical.

I have no idea what the connection in the kernel with X is. To me,
they are supposed to be completely separate issues.
