I've attached Xorg log.

This cause of this crash is now fixed, but there may be others...
Comment 2 Nikolay Vladimirov 2008-04-01 18:12:35 UTC 
I used git commit d017dfa93e7eff988339b8030af1a563347156bc(  Tue Apr 1 21:23:35 2008 +0100) to rebuild the fedora rpm. And now Xorg starts just fine. I'll attach Xorg.log.working for reference. 

I'll also file a bug in redhat's bugzilla to update the package.

Hi, without wishing to promote bug resurrection, it would be great if you have time to try enabling randr12 with this chipset (as described at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Randr12 ), since it will shortly be on by default (and is already in Fedora), and from looking at your log will fail horribly and need fixing -- if this is the case, please open a new bug.

fedora's randr patch

Not sure what to do. The rpm is built using the patch I attached and I also enabled Randr 1.2 in xorg.conf and everything seems to work that way.  
The problem is when I comment HorizSync and VertRefresh according to http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 -   X crashes and doesn't start.
Also today's update of xserver in rawhide was broken and had to revert to yesterdays version and these  things happen a lot in rawhide. So this maybe some packaging or xserver issue.  
Maybe it's best if I report the bug to fedora?
