vesa may help in the meanwhile?

Sounds like a kernel issue then? I hope you'll be able to get some
traces at some point. :)

Yes please; it'd be trivial to identify the fix, should it run fine.

I do not see it mentioned in 2.6.32-9 or 2.6.32-10 changelog entries
for linux-2.6, so probably not in 2.6.32-4-$arch kernels.

X crashing is no data loss. Data loss means you lost data you
wrote. Crashing X means you didn't save soon enough. (See FS-related
bugs, those are usually data loss. Or broken DB writes.)

I know it's annoying, but still, it doesn't qualify as such. ;)
