Similar problem with fresh install of ubuntu desktop 10.04/i386 under VMware 
Workstation 5.0.0-13124;
X would just keep crashing out (even with failsafe/vesa) with :

  Illegal instruction at address 0xb76c1ca3
  Caught signal 4 (Illegal instruction). Server aborting

Workaround/solution was to move /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 out of the
way.

That library owned by: libc6-i686 (2.11.1-0ubuntu)

gdb session of "X -once :0":
