OK, ran it for a few hours and finally got a BT, I don't think this is very informative though, which package contains the Debugging Symbols? Or should I run Xorg in a special way?
I used the following docs to understand what to do: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/DebuggingTheXserver but to my naked eye, it seems like there are no debugging symbols. gdb /usr/bin/Xorg 6043 GNU gdb 6.4.90-debian Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Can you try to attach gdb to the X server and get a full backtrace?
