No log available, when in xorg.conf the glx module is enable, computer crashed (no mouse or keyboard reaction, blank screen).

Which drivers and version are you using? Also attach your xorg.conf. We really can't guess... ;)
Thexorg.conf works with this configuration. Changing the glx line, the xserver crashes without writing its log (I removed /var/log/Xorg.0 before stating the new configuration and I found no file after crash) # cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/share/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1" EndSection Section "Module" Load "extmod" Load "dbe" Load "record" Load "xtrap" Load "dri" # Load "glx" Load "freetype" Load "type1" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbLayout" "de" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection Section "Monitor" #DisplaySize 360 260 # mm Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "PTS" ModelName "miro P1998F" HorizSync 30.0 - 98.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "radeon" VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" BoardName "RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE]" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "EnablePageFlip" "true" Option "AGPFastWrite" "true" Option "AGPMode" "4" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection
