It's probably XFree86 driver instability. Most likey due
to misunderstood hardware subtleties or hardware bugs that have
not been worked around. You should really get some newer software.
Your X-server is more than three years old and there have undoubtedly
been many bug fixes since then.
This is not XFree86 4.3. This is the output of an old
