I have a few questions:

1) Are you still experiencing this problem with XFree86 4.3.0-7,
currently in Debian unstable (sid) and testing (sarge)?

2) If the answer to 1) is "yes", does X work if you change the "Driver"
in the "Device" section of XF86Config-4 to "ati", instead of "vesa"?

3) If the answer to 1) is "yes", try commenting out all the
"InputDevice" sections in your XF86Config-4 that use the "mouse" driver,
then start the XFree86 X server with the "-allowMouseOpenFail" option;
e.g. "startx -- -allowMouseOpenFail".  Does the X server stay up for
more than a few seconds then?
