For the breif moment when the error message from Xorg appears, the system seems to have hard time recognizing the graphics card, x4500 from intel. (checking dmesg, the graphics card is seen by the ISA VGA driver as a generic display) I cannot see the error message for the core dump; things happen too quickly for me, and i'm too much of a newbie to figure out how to get that log message. man, and i thought i was finally going to get to use the computer now that the network card driver was updated... please let me know what to do if there's any new information you require. thank you for reading :)
