As openGL crashed and the suggestion on the screenshot is "-nowgl"

can you try

startxwin -- -multiwindow +iglx -nowgl

it should disable the hardware acceleration.

"Note: You must provide the -listen tcp option to startx or startxwin so 
that the X server will listen for TCP/IP connections. (See this FAQ for 
more details). "
