Hi Bryce,
thanks a lot for the reply.
As mentioned in the entry the crash has happened with System: amd_64 Hardy 8.04
Since adding the "EXA option" in my xorg.conf, crashes are gone, and it looks like for good.

So my guess, it has nothing to do with the open driver, it has something to do with Xorg on one hand, on the other hand not directly, because I've read somewhere the "EXA option" is available, but not as default, as one can see in my last Xorg.0.log the EXA modules are being loaded without downloading any further packages or changing configurations by also running a default configurated system, means no changes in systemfiles.
So when only by adding this option the problem is solved here, this seems for me, the driver is ok, xorg is ok, the options which are available can be activated or not, means one can configure the system easily, one only has to know how and reading bug files, since there appears no popup telling one what option to add and how to do that.

package: xorg 1:7.3+10ubuntu10 X.Org X Window System
