I would search your log files for clues as to the cause. That crash is
different than mine.

Look at

Xorg.o.log (or log.old)
dmesg
/var/log/messages
/var/log/gdm/:0.log

and whatever else you can think of to gain more info.

I would rather go back to xorg-server-1.3 if I can figure out how to
do it. The system has worked great for the last year. Some kid decided
that version 1.5 was good. Moght be, but not for my system.
