and consider going the other way - I am using 1.8.2 (xorg-server) which is more stable for me than the 1.7 series. However, some idea on what your system is may help - certain combinations (xorg-server-1.7.x, inetl driver and tuxonice hibernate are problematic, others are fine with certain workarounds. Can you provide more info such as video card and what the crash is? The actual xorg version should be something like 7.4-r1 so I presume you quoted xorg-server?
