Well that's what I had begun, but then I got compile error because the  
rest of Xorg is too recent it seems, but anyway I just observed that  
with the old version (the one that comes with Ubuntu Feisty) I get  
problems also but after several suspend/resume for example. So it looks  
more and more like a memory leak problem to me. I will try to catch up  
with the bugzilla entry you mentionned to see if I can help there.
Thx
Bye
