My X server worked well until I upgrated my kernel to Linux-2.6.8: It still works with kernels up to Linux-2.6.8-pre2, but crashes with segmentation-fault on any kernel from linux-2.6.8-pre3 onward.
So far, this only happens on my AMD computer, and regardless of which video-card I use (I tried three different cards - two AGP and one PCI) and whether I configure the driver to be VESA or not, or even VGA. The exact same software however, works fine when being run on a Pentium-4.
This first happened on XFree 4.3.0, so I just installed the latest XFree 4.4.0, but it makes no difference.
I am using a plain kernel with no modules and no direct rendering, as I do not even require any fancy acceleration, just that I can get into graphics mode from time to time to view the web.
Your /proc/cpuinfo indicates you have an Athlon64, but you are running an X server binary meant for i686's. That's not likely to work.
