Try the attached xorg.conf.  I mashed in some of the settings from my
existing machine that uses a Radeon 7000, which is close to yours. 
This config specifies the PCI bus location of the card, and has very
conservative graphic settings.

I'm not optimistic that this will do much, as I've rarely fixed a X
crash just by changing the config.  Has this card worked before, or
under XFree86?
