Bus error at address 0xb73958c0

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 7 (Bus error). Server aborting
*snip*

Hal and dbus are running, i tried using no configuration file at all, i tried to use hwd and created an ati specific xorg.conf and i tried the vesa conf generated by hwd but nothing seems to help.
xf86-input-mouse and -keyboard are installed aswell.

I would be thankful for any suggestions.

Solved itself after kernel upgrade.
