Had to do some tricks over an ssh connection to even get to a console...since I couldn't switch ttys :). Anyway...I attached a gdb session to the X server and recreated the problem. After typing 'continue', I hit ctrl-alt-f1 and was given the (gdb) prompt on a SIGUSR1. The screen was simply black. I pulled the backtrace, register, and thread info, then ran 'continue'. The screen then went to the weird ascii stuff and I was sent back to the (gdb) prompt on a SIGABRT. I again pulled the backtrace, register, and thread info. The program terminated after I continued.

NOTE: I found that I couldn't get any symbol table info on libdrm_intel.so.1, unless I relinked it to /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libdrm_intel.so.1.0.0 before trying to switch ttys. However, I had to correct the link after the crash, or my X would not start properly.
