What model exactly ? (what do you have in /proc/cpuinfo ?) Also
what model of video chip do you have ?

Ok, looks like a problem with DRI. Try disabling DRI & AGP to see if
that helps (comment Load "dri" in modules section in XFree config file
and do not compile the agpgart module).
Regarding DRI, I have it working just fine without any crash so far
using Michel Danzer packages. You should make sure you properly rebuild
his DRM kernel module (the .deb package will only put some source
tarball in /usr/src, you have to expand & build it)
