I'm sorry it has taken a long time to follow up on this report.
This is a pretty ancient version of the xfree86 packages:
xfree86 (4.3.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

Oh, I see. In the future, please file the report against the most recent
version that has the problem, and describe the earliest known version with
the problem in the bug description.

Okay. I wonder if some sort of engine-reset logic is needed.
Your bug title suggests, but your message body does not state, that
disabling XAA works around the problem. Can you confirm that? I realize
performance is worse with "NoAccel" set, but I would like to gather that
datum.

For what it's worth, I believe the above was fixed in the very next package
release subsequent to the one you filed your bug against. That might have
spared some of your frustration.
