This is probably an X server fbdevhw module bug fixed upstream in
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=f4350c66b493d63fa06be87caa958d7033232ea4
This fix will only be in the upcoming xserver 1.7 release, but I've
nominated the fix on http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Server16Branch now so
hopefully it'll be in a future 1.6.x release if any.
