Hoi: I'd say the problem may well be somewhere in the graphics stack. Once you have a crash it's quite convenient knowing exactly where it happenned and getting a backtrace of it.
Check ~/.xsession-erros and also Xorg log (/var/log/Xorg.[01].log or /var/log/Xorg.[01].log.old if a new X instance already fired up), sometimes kdm.log also helps. If you want further information, install relevant -dbg packages: xserver, x video driver, mesa and drm. Once you have this installed make sure you enabled core dumps. I do this adding "ulimit -c unlimited" somewhere at the begginning of /etc/init.d/kdm script. If X crashes you'll get a core dump at /etc/X11/core which you can later analyze with "gdb /etc/X11/core $(which Xorg)" Good luck with this.
