Thia information is valuable I assume to an X maintainer. I see one non
X library which might cause the problem. I believe the ldconfig
execution might address any linker problems from the equation.
Mesa for 3D seems to be referenced for other backtrace entries.

This indicates to me that you have a sis video or that the Intel somehow
messed up things.
If you have the SIS, I found problem correction by increasing the amount
of shared memory in BIOS.
If you want to get X up and are not too concerned with 3D, you might try
to change the "sis" entry to "vesa in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
