Subject: XFree 4.0.1-8 crashes my system completly, how can I retrieve

I have an uptodate woody (11/27/2000) with kernel 2.4.0-test11 (i386) using
framebuffer support on an ATI Mach64. Now XFree 4.0.1-8 using fbdev (started
with "startx") crashes my system so worse, that I neither can't switch to any
console nor get a connection across the network (telnet, ping). All I can do to
get out of a completly blank screen is pressing the hard reset button. My setup
used to work with XFree 3.3.6 and kernel 2.4.0-test5. Now how do I retrieve any
useful information after the restart of my system, so I can make a useful bug
report? What else can I do to help resolve this crash, i.e. kernel with debug
support?
Does my USB-keyboard/-mouse have an influence in this crash? Or is there any
other package I might have to look at?
Could you provide my a bash script with all the necessary commands, since I'm
not very used to X?
How do I install X so I could use/test version 3 and 4 through different
startups (startx3/starx4)?
