I managed to capture a couple files from two separate crash events
(after rebuilding the server and chips driver with debugging on).

A large binary core dump file was saved in /var/crash/Xorg.core:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21186696/var_crash_Xorg.core

using the method described near the end of /usr/xenocara/README file
(changing xorg.conf to set NoTrapSignals true and running startx as
 root with -keepPriv.)

Next is a very small dbg output file that I got using the debugger
though ssh, running X as an ordinary user using the 2 machine method
described in
http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/ServerDebugging

This file was much shorter than I expected, and I had to hard reset
the laptop to regain control (I don't know why). It's here:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21186696/Xorg_ssh_dbg_output.txt

I'm hoping one of these files reveals something of value
in understanding this crash problem. Thanks for looking.
