I have another data point:

G4 DPMDD, Radeon 9600Pro, Xorg server 1.7.7
Xorg segfaults on startup:

(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard0" (type: KEYBOARD)
Segmentation fault: 11 at address 0x90

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault: 11). Server aborting


Unfortunately, gdb(1) is useless for backtracing, because it doesn't
support threads on ppc32.
