I'm just covering known X-server problems. There are some problems
with the font server (which you don't appear to be running), and historically
there have been some problems with TrueType renderers choking on some
broken fonts. I only guessed that your TrueType fonts were in a TrueType
directory. Another way to ensure that true type fonts aren't being
used is to not load the modules for them. ie. remove the "freetype" and
"xtt" modules from the Section "Module" in the XF86Config file.
Font related problems have traditionally show up when running browers,
which is why your crash is a familiar scenario.
Mark.
