Sorry, I only mentioned the mouse because it has been a regular xorg problem
for me. A couple of years ago I was also using /dev/psaux, but moved on
to /dev/input/mice/ since and also changed the kernel config accordingly.

Viewport refers to your virtual screen which is larger than the physical
monitor screen. Placing the cursor at the edge of the monitors scrolls the
screen in that direction, until the edge of the virtual screen is reached.
Useful in small monitors.
As far as know there is no section "Display" in xorg.conf. I think you need
to change that to Section "Screen". Here's relevant extracts of mine for
your perusal.
This is part of my xorg.conf in case it helps:
=======================================
Section "Monitor"
DisplaySize 336 269 # 96 DPI @ 1280x1024
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "NEC"

EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
=======================================
If this doesn't fix it can you ssh into the machine to check what does
the /var/log/Xorg.0.conf show after the crash?
HTH.
