Yes, we need a backtrace of the crash. You can get one by:
1) looking at the end of Xorg.0.log (or Xorg.0.log.old if X already
restarted)
2) running gdb on your core
3) attaching gdb to a running X from another machine through ssh before
the crash occurs.

The best would be 2) or 3) after installing xserver-xorg-core-dbg.
