Which xserver-xorg-core are you using? I will reassign the bug
accordingly then.

Could you send the output of
    /usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg-core/script 3>&1
so that we see your config and log?

The log right after a crash might help too, but the best would be a
backtrace from either attaching gdb before the crash (through ssh) or
later with a coredump  (see [1] for details).

Thanks,
Brice
