If you're very familiar with using gdb and the Xserver code you can debug the issue with gdb -p <XserverPid>. Install xorg-x11-server-debuginfo package before.

Otherwise I need to close this one as WORKSFORME. huh? isn`t this bugzilla meant for reporting problems to be SOLVED? i really like to help linux getting better, but this sounds disappointing a
