I haven't been following all of this thread, but I recently had what
sounds like a very similar problem with Ubuntu 10.04 with an old
Nvidia card. X would segfault very quickly after starting Xastir. I
had an extra video card so I just changed it out rather then fooling
around with drivers and bug reports, and all is fine now. That's
probably not an easy option for a T40 though; I think that's a laptop?

Good luck, hope you find a solution!
