I've just gotten about five crashes of the X server, each with the backtrace:

0: X(xorg_backtrace+0x26) [0x4ea426]

The crashes only seem to happen when I'm not using the X server (probably right when it turns off the monitors): the system seems quite reliable so long as I'm actually using it. But then when I go away, and come back to find the monitors in power-saving mode, often the server has crashed, leaving the keyboard in an unusable state, requiring a reboot via the power button.

My setup is:

G965 with dual-DVI ADD2 card, driving two monitors.
Gentoo Linux
xf86-video-intel-2.6.3-r1
libdrm-2.4.5
xorg-server-1.5.3-r5
Linux kernel 2.6.29. (I also tested it with 2.6.28, and got the same crash.)
