So, it sounds like the console is working fine, and you are just having 
problems with Xorg... ?

I would suggest simplifying your xorg.conf as much as possible.  Comment out 
all (unnecessary) modules (as well as the DRI section at the bottom).  Once 
you get it to work, you can then uncomment modules that you want (one at a 
time) to determine which ones work and which one(s) cause the system to 
crash.

If your system still crashes when the extra modules are commented out, then I 
would suggest trying out the generic VESA video driver:

If that fails, you may want to try out FreeBSD.  Here is a LiveCD:

Good luck!
