We leave the management of runlevels to the administrator. You could
also boot into single user mode or boot into X, switch to console and
stop the display manager. (Or start a second server right away, ...)

Doubt it, it's probably just a consequence of the X server dying.

Oh, I was wondering if that would even work. :) If Option "NoAccel"
helps, you can play with the "XaaNo..." options to isolate the offending
acceleration function; the server lists the functions it uses in the
log. 4.2.0 might also be worthwhile to try, and the last resort would be
the fbdev driver.
