The server doesn't normally dump core. I suggest you build a server with
'#define DoLoadableServer NO' uncommented in either
xc/config/cf/{xf86site,host}.def and run the server from gdb.

Beware that you'll most probably have to do that from a remote machine as you
won't have access to gdb's console otherwise.

Where it crashes :)

Hint: Rebuild the file(s) it shows with makeg to see the actual code in gdb.

/var/log/XFree86.0.log

But sadly it's only rarely helpful in such cases.
