I've just upgraded to xserver-xorg on my alpha in response to your mail.
The missing symbols are fixed by adding these two lines to xorg.conf:
Load "xaa"
Load "libi2c"
Sounds like a bug to me; I shouldn't have to manually load modules in order
to use a particular X driver...
The segfault, though, remains even after making this change. (The
Elf_RelocationEntry() errors do also, but I'm not certain those are a real
problem). Please file a bug report against the xserver-xorg package, so
that the X maintainers can take a look at this.

There will be new versions of the package uploaded, but I'm pretty sure they
aren't going to include a fix for this if no one submits a bug report.
