Can you try the ExaNoComposite option in xorg.conf, see if this works
around the bug?

The problem is is knowing if it makes any difference or not because the actual crash is so hard to reproduce. Personally I think I'd prefer to wait for another occurrence and see if I can get logs that time. Or some better idea of what triggers it.

Is there a way to make X.Org save more that 1 old version of its logs?

I've already made the recommended change. Knowing if it works isn't too hard, it's just time consuming. It reliably crashes at least once per week. If I go a week without crashing then I for one will consider the workaround successful.

I've already got strong suspicions that Option "NoDRI" prevents it from occurring, but as mentioned this leads to standby/resume problems.

In any event, assuming it doesn't crash before then I will report back in a week to let you know if the workaround is successful.
