you should use XTRANS-0_1-RELEASE branch of xtrans

xserver is supposed to be used for experiment on new extensions, but you
can use it if you have supported hardware.  Anyway, xserver/VESA works a
lot better than the xorg/nvidia  when using xcompmgr running traditional
2D applications.  That's because there is less redrawing done by
applications thanks to the composite and damage extensions.
If you need to run xv or 3d applications then it's a complete different
story

I know that there are some work in both directions, there are people
working on the implementation of the new extensions for xorg, and there
are people moving the xorg DDX to fd.o xserver
