mysterious FC2 gdm/X crash

[Ben Vitale]

Hi folks,
  Early yesterday morning while I was fast asleep, my X server quit.
Upon startup, my desktop shortcuts had lost their unique icons.
Relevant log portions are below.

The only X-related change I have made to my system in the past 48 hours
is that I yum updated to xorg-x11-6.7.0-5 the day before. System ran
fine for 24+ hours until this crash.

I run FC2, kernel 2.6.5-1.358.  Nvidia GeForce4 MX440, with the newest
drivers (6106).

Does anyone have any ideas what may have caused this crash?

TIA,
Ben
