I won't repeat myself over and over again: the issue has its origins
in Xorg itself in version 7.5

I don't know much about X.org and EXA and don't have time to learn
about them. I'll prod Xavier to see if he can suggest some other
change in X.org.

An alternative is to downgrade to X.org 7.4 and build the latest
openchrome drivers against that version. IOW: downgrade to the X.org
version from hardy and wait for me to upload the latest openchrome
package to my ppa for hardy (or compile it yourself, as you wish, it
is not rocket science).

Providing more config or log files is useless for this issue (unless
it does happen with X.org < 7.5).

If somebody knows how to clone this report and reassign it to the xorg
packages please do it, as I've found launchpad very counter-intuitive
and have no idea (nor found by looking at the web frontend) how to do
it at all.
