In the /var/log directory there should be two log files, Xorg.0.log and Xorg.0.log.old --- one of these files (probably the .old) contains the logs of the crashed X session. My suggestion is that you recreate the crash, and then post both files so that we can compare and see what went wrong. Even better (given that those files are somewhat large), put them on pastebin or similar, and send us a link.
