Your log got truncated, either by the crash or by sending it via mail.
The interesting (DRI) part is missing. However, the cut occurs while
initializing a module called theatre. I've checked, this is not in the
XFree86 4.2 distribution, it's a Gatos extension. However, Gatos is
known to be incompatible with the DRI project.

You could try to remove any unused modules from the "Module" section in
XF86Config. The only things you really need (for a safe bet) are "dri"
and "glx". If this works you can start adding modules again.

Otherwise the only safe way for you to use DRI snapshots may be to
install a clean Xserver from XFree86 and update that one with dri
snapshots.

Could you send your XF86Config?
