Yes, but the difference if the kernel video drivers crash, I know
where to start looking. If X crashes and screws up the video card, the
video drivers *could* be the problem. But a whole lot of other things in
the X server could also be the problem. XFree86 4.0, which has separate
video driver libraries, should help clear this problem up a lot though.
