This problem might be caused by the recent removal of non-free code. We
would like you to provide us with more information and perform a debugging
session.
Which kernel are you using? is the 2.4.25 that you are running a debian
package (and if so exactly which version) or a vanilla kernel you compiled
your self?
Please install xserver-xfree86-dbg and run a gdb session on it.
Theoretically even with the code removal X should be able to fail nicely
and not to segfault.
Thanks a lot
Fabio
