Hi Yves,
Here are the notes I promised earlier today:

I found a patch discussed at http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18598. The
direct URL is http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18598?getfile=4963. I
believe the patch is from http://www.mail-archive.com/xorg-
[email protected]/msg05737.html, but I did not verify.

I hacked the patch file so that I could make it apply in my environment.
The hacked patch file is attached.

Here is a summary of how I built and installed a replacement .deb:

  $ sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot dpkg-dev devscripts
  $ apt-get source xserver-xorg-core
  $ sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-core
  $ cd xorg-server-1.7.6/
  $ patch -p1 </tmp/xorg-patch.patch
  $ dch -i
  $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b
  $ cd ..
  $ sudo dpkg -i xserver-common_1.7.6-2ubuntu8_all.deb

This did fix the problem for me.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

** Patch added: "this patch was applied manually and is not properly formated 
for release."
