Bah sorry for the previous post. I just realized you are on amd64.
Xfree86 isn't totally stable on that machine. The driver module loader
seems to go banana once in a while.

Another solution is to use the -dbg server.

apt-get install xserver-xfree86-dbg

but remember that is not performant as the other.
