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.
