It will most likely reduce your performance, but you might try disabling
the shadow feature, which appears to be where it crashed. Add the folowing
to your "Device" section just after 'Driver "fbdev"':
Option "ShadowFB" "false"
One other thing I noticed is that you have "macintosh_old" setup as your
keyboard type, but I don't think that is correct. If you get it running
and your keyboard produces the wrong characters, try "macintosh" instead.
