Which xserver-xorg-core and xserver-xorg-video-mga packages do you have?
Could you try upgrading them to experimental ? (xserver-xorg-core
2:1.2.99.905-3 and xserver-xorg-video-mga 1:1.4.6.1.dfsg.1-1). Note that
if you don't want to upgrade to libc2.5 because of this, you may want to
take an earlier xserver-xorg-core from

Do you have a way to reproduce such a crash? It would be helpful to get
a backtrace with gdb.

This xorg.conf is far from simple. You seem to have removed dualhead and
nohal from the "good" xorg.conf, right? And it helped a lot? Any idea
whether dualhead made the biggest difference?

You should drop your rotate option :)

Do you get DRI on the first head?
