Hmm.  Somehow I managed to miss all the X errors :-).

I'm not sure about your logic though.  The logfile seems to contain
output for 3 different runs of the X server.  If you're right, we are
interested in the last two runs.  But *all* of them  end in this same X
error.

The *difference* between the last two runs is the error from kdmgreet in
the second run:

kdmgreet: Fatal IO error: client killed
error setting MTRR (base = 0xd0000000, size = 0x10000000, type = 1) Invalid 
argument (22)
 ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log


Surely that kdmgreet error is what you would expect to happen just after 
ctrl+alt+backspace.  So it's not restarting X?

The other alternative is that kdmgreet is silent in response to
ctrl+alt+backspace, but when it tried to restart X, something *other*
than the MTRR error went wrong, which X did not log an error for, and
kdmgreet then died.

Also, as far as I know it's not a fatal error to fail to setup an MTRR.
It just slows things down :-).  So I think the MTRR error is unlikely to
be related to a crash.

Finally, X crashes are normally a bit spectacular - you at least see the
screen flicker or something.  I didn't see anything like that, it
*looks* as if X just dies and is not restarted.
