What's the message in your syslog? Is it:
"gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error -
Restarting
:0" ?
If so, the problem could be similar to the one I
reported yesterday with subject "Fatal X error: how to
diagnose?".
If it is the same problem then that narrows things
down a lot because we're using different kernels (mine
is 2.4.18-bf2.4). Does mplayer also kill your X
session?
