I have similar problem when trying to run wesnoth in 16bpp screen mode. It crashes xserver randomly when drawing to screen. 24bpp mode works without problems.
Wesnoth uses SDL for all operations and native bpp is 32 so SDL needs to do bpp conversion when running in 16 bpp mode. I could trace crash to ioctl call to ioctl(7, 0x6444, 0) returning 0. FD 7 is /dev/dri/card0 opened in lr-x------ mode. There is FD 8 wit write access too to same device. One think to note is that when I run wesnoth under gdb and use advance when trying to locate crash it never crashes. But crash rate without gdb is over 75 %. Steps to reproduce: 1. set bpp in Xorg.conf to 16 2. startX 3. start the svn version of wesnoth If not yet crashing 4.
