How to set a core dump for Xorg process via gdm.

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • While logged in via gdm, X.org process crashed on run level 5. To investigate this issue, I need the process core files, but it doesn't crash with a core dump.
  • It seems that a core dump doesn't get produced when I'm logged in via gdm. Is there a way to make it produce a core dump?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
  • X Windows System
  • gdm
