Have you tried eliminating xdm from the equation and seeing if the
server still dumps core?  I have never had XF86_S3 dump on me, but
then I don't use xdm.  I'd like to know if this has anything to do
with it.

Is /dev/console owned by you?  It needs to be for xconsole or `xterm -C'
to work.  /etc/fbtab is a good way of making that happen automatically
if it's not - do a man fbtab for details.
