Not quite sure if this is related but while trying to debug poor glxgears performance on my thinkpad x40 with Hardy Beta, I got a similar crash (log attached). My normal working configuration uses Driver "i810" for an i855 1024x768 internal and 1280x1024 external lcd on the vga port. Xinerama is disabled so they are two separate screens. glxgears reports about 500 fps. I tried switching Driver to "intel" and the server would crash on startup (no login).

Ideally, I'd have two separate screens (non-Xinerama) both with acceleration enabled; purportedly this hardware can get at least 700 fps and possibly even 1270 fps (http://www.chronox.de/x40_linux/linux_on_x40.html).

I can file a separate bug if it is unrelated.
