Xorg should print its crashes to a log typically at /var/log/Xorg.N.log,
where N is the number of your display.

Such a crash message should contain its backtrace on GNU/Linux systems,
for example:

[ 14866.219] 
Backtrace:

[ 14866.220] Segmentation fault at address 0x1
[ 14866.220] 
Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting

Typically, the DDX symbols printed are enough to give us an idea of what
has gone wrong.  Would you please try to obtain such a backtrace from
your X server crash?
