Please don't attach random files like this, most of these are useless.
What we need is the output of
/usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg/script 3>&1
First, make sure you update all X packages to the latest in unstable
and take the latest 2.6.32 kernel packahe in unstable too.
If the problem still happens, please send the above output.
