Well, I doubt that Xorg is the problem as it perfectly works with older
versions of the kernel.

The problem is always present, no matter if
- KMS is enabled or not
- the agp/drm drivers are compiled as a module or compiled into the kernel
- vesafb is used or not
- tile blitting is enabled in framebuffer config space or not

BTW: kernel 2.6.30.4 performs as bad as 2.6.31-rc6.
