Xorg.0.log

The X server crashes pretty much always when using EXA. I can still ssh to the machine, but I can't restart the X server and I can't switch to a text console, so the only sollution is to reboot.

This is on a Thinkpad X60s - i945 onboard video, i686 architecture. 
Software components are:
xorg-server 1.5.3-1
xf86-video-intel  2.4.2-2
libpciaccess 0.10.5-1
libdrm 2.4.1-1
intel-dri 7.2-1
libgl 7.2-1
mesa 7.2-1

kernel is my own 2.6.26.7 (with tuxonice, tp_smapi, thinkpad_acpi patches)

Xorg.0.log is attached. dmesg didn't show anything at the time of the crash.

I'm not 100% sure, but the crash would often happen when psi tries to display a popup notification... at least I've noticed several times a popup showing, the screen freezing, next thing X is killed, I'm at a black screen (seemingly a text one), switching to console 1 doesn't work (CTRL-ALT-1).

Are you indicating this doesn't happen with XAA?
Are you able to try the latest release 2.5.0?

Hasn't happened to me when XAA is enabled.

2.5.0 was removed from the Arch testing repository - so I would have to compile my own. Considering the above packages, what would I need to compile?

EXA -> cworth
