Just a hunch but you're loading the (builtin) modesetting driver,
I don't think he could be. Doesn't it work only with gfxchips newer than around
10 years old? His gfxchip looks to me like it could be up to 17 years old:

http://www.dell.com/downloads/ap/topics/servers/1850_specs.pdf says it's an
embedded chip.
vesa
and fbdev and they're apparently all in the process of probing the HW
and then you run into a pciaccess segfault.
=> try uninstalling xf86-video-vesa and xf86-video-fbdevhw (so you'll
only use the modesetting driver since apparently modesetting itself
seems to work and you don't have xf86-video-ati installed) and see
whether that makes any difference.
The ati/radeon driver works nicely enough for my rv200 on F25 kernel 4.10.6 and
server 1.19.2.
I wonder of noapic or nolapic would help?
Also see eg. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81678 and
google for pci_device_vgaarb_init - this seems a quite common issue...
That bug is about decade newer AMD Island chip(s).
If he has an empty expansion slot, he may need to put a newer video card in it
order to keep the old server online with Xorg.
