Usually screensavers show random crashes. Are you running any 3D
programs or running random screensavers?

I'm checking messages, Xorg.0.log and Xorg.0.log.old. There are no
error messages in any of them (unless this counts: BOGUS LENGTH in write
keyboard desc, expected 5352, got 5356 , but the system keeps running,
so I don't think that's it). My card is a Radeon 9200SE+, IIRC it's
r280 (X.org loads the driver for the r200 line to provide 3D
acceleration), and no, it never happens when I'm running screensavers or
3D programs, only when I'm working with GUI-based programs (it happened
once with Smart, once with Firefox, and once with Gnome Mines, and there
are more that I can't remember).
Probably testing with the vesa driver for awhile to see if the failure
occurs or with the ati binary drivers from one of the various repos that
package them in rpm form are good testing options.
I did find a direct hit for the keyboard error on a gentoo list but was
unable to translate it since Polish was not one of the choices. The
server did appear to finish up with that message though.
