Try switching the graphics driver to "vesa" then it should be stable,
although you won't be doing any 3D gaming on the console, the
performance seems fine for basic desktop functions and doesn't crash
the system.

I ended up using Debian Sarge on my PE1850s, but had to use the 2.6
kernel from etch to get the megaraid to work right with 2.6.

I.e. to be a little more specific in xorg.conf...

Code:
--------------------
    Section "Device"
  Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
  Driver          "vesa"
  EndSection
