alright.. so at least you can switch
modules i.g. from nvidia to vesa and such.
 From what it seems your hitting something
maybe with evdev, or mouse/kbd(but could be wrong).

over here I've noticed something like that
with using fluxbox and the latest xserver from git.
every so often if I right click
the xserver will exit out instantly.

hmm.. from your log I see something
with evdev, maybe you should upgrade
the evdev module(from git) to see if this problem
has been fixed for you.
