Don't know if it has to do with your x crasch. This is the only bad entry
in your XFree86.0.log i saw. (WW) means a warning and must not be the
cause for your hanging X. I use X4.1 too and have no such problems. And
i don't have a log entry like this in my XFree86.0.log. Don't know really
what you have to do. The only i can say is, that MTRR support is a part
of kernel. Which kernel do you use? May be possible you have to upgrade to
a newer version.
