Looks like a bug with your X11 driver. Here are some workarounds you can
try:
      * use EXA acceleration instead of XAA. See
        http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ExaStatus for hints on how to do it.
      * Disable the UseFBDev option if it is enabled.

Please add all relevant information (lspci output, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and /var/log/Xorg.0.log) to the bug.
