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.

> Are you able to try the latest release 2.5.0?

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?
