Hey all,
I have a nasty problem. I'm running ubuntu right now.
When I boot up, most of the time my xorg server crashes hard, either directly after logging into pekwm, or occasionally right on the gdm login screen. After several cold reboots, I can get logged in and everything works fine (almost like a race condition). I can't find any error messages, but they may be getting wiped out after the cold reboot. This has been happening for about a week now. I tried downgrading xorg-server to 1.4.0.90-6, which is from a time when I'm sure the system was working fine, but its still crashing... so perhaps its not an xorg issue.
Sorry I don't have any more information, I have perused some error logs but nothing jumps out worth posting and I don't have time to delve deeper right now. But developing in Ubuntu with its quirky support for my dual screen setup just doesn't suit me, so I thought I'd ask. ;-)

First thing I'd do is recompile the nvidia kernel driver (or ati, whatever).

I don't use a proprietary driver (intel). Since the problem wasn't 100% reproducible, I guessed it might be a race condition. I reordered my DAEMONS array, unbackgrounded a few DAEMONS, and started gdm later and it seems to be working now. This was after I totally killed my kernel somehow and broke a few other things. Now I have to fix my sound and get my cpufreq daemon running again...

Are you using the xf86-video-intel driver? I had nothing but problems with that one. Freezing, hard crashes, blow ups, you name it. I regressed to the 810 driver and everything works correctly.

add this to xorg.conf device section:
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
Linux je jako mušketýři "jeden za všechny, všichni za jednoho"
