If DRI is enabled in your XF86Config, try commenting out 'Section "DRI"'
and start XFree again.

If it fixes the crash, I bet you are using the DRI kernel module
stuff (port drm-kmod). I'm using it for a Radeon card, and I need
to recompile/reinstall it almost every time I update my kernel to
avoid crashes when starting XFree.
