I have run into this same problem following an xorg-server upgrade,
The problem started with the upgrade to xorg-server-1.5.x, using intel
graphics driver version 2.7.1 and mesa version 7.4.2, my thread ran
dead and as of writing this email I still have yet to find a solution
to the problem. To the best of my knowledge there are known issues
with new versions of the intel video drivers, however I cannot
personally confirm this nor do I know of any plans or time line for
the fixes to be made.
