I had this EXACT problem.  In fact, I believe you
wrote me personally about it.  So far the XFree86 team
has been COMPLETELY unresponsive regarding this
problem.  The only way I was able to fix it was to
downgrade to XF86 3.x.x, so my guess is that the
problem arose when they merged the driver code.
