Join the club; mine crashes too, again with an i810. Actually, I just stuck a second card in there, an ATI Xpert... I wonder if the crashing will stop if I make the ATI my primary adapter. Anyway, it's a known problem, but not universal. Some people suffer from it, like me, and I think some people are okay. The only advice I can give you, is to do what I did: go back to 4.0.1. Find an old ports tree and build it. There is no such problem with this version of XFree.
