You can perhaps try to find out what the tv is telling X: x11-misc/read-edid
... if you haven't already tried it (you can also use "startx --
-logverbose 6").
You can also set your preferred resolution in xorg.conf as such:
In Section "Screen":
Subsection "Display"
...
Modes "1366x768" "1280x720" ...
EndSubSection
X will automatically try the leftmost alternative first...
Regarding the crash, I don't know enough about debugging, unfortunately.
Have you tried rebuilding X and all it's libs?
