I'm taking a pretty wild guess that you need X because of a bright shiny new card that's only supported by 4.2 ? I ran into the same problem with a new radeon card, and solved it the same, with one exception: I used the X server included in the gatos [1] ati.2 driver package. This seems not to be a radeon-specific server, but it _is_ 4.2, and works fine with the xfree86.org binaries; furthermore it does support the authentication mechanism that's missing from the xfree86.org binaries (which breaks xdm and others). I'm currently running a rockstable X with xv and DRI support, on a xinerama dualhead 19" (3200x1200) desktop, and haven't experienced any X-related crashes yet (knocks wood).
