These don't exist in Xorg 7.4 (and probably haven't been around in the
last few iterations of Xorg)

There must be some problem in your system if you are receiving signal

There are many possible causes for signal 11,  ranging from hardware
failures to weird incompatibilities.

this can probably be worked out.  Please try -questions list.
