X server crashes, when I'm trying to run some games, such as
Supertux, Frozen Bubble, Fish Fillets (fillets-ng). I don't
know from which update it happens. These games was working
fine in the past. I was meaning it's sdl problem, but Wormux
works fine.

This task depends upon
What error messages do you see when starting games from terminal?

Some people seem to be having this problem (or similar) with drivers other than nvidia. I have fglrx, and one other guy's using unichrome.
I'll try downgrading fglrx to see if it helps...
Fixed an X server crash starting some fullscreen OpenGL games
try nvidia-9631 from Testing.

(Change accordingly to your resolution, obviously.) It solved my problem with Supertux.
