You need to upgrade to a newer version of XFree86.

As people on Slashdot never hesitate to point out, XFree86 4.1.0 is pretty
long in the tooth by now.

If you're not able to upgrade to XFree86 4.3.0 (in Debian testing "sarge"
and Debian unstable "sid"), could you try to reproduce this problem using
one of the unofficial woody-backport packages of XFree86 4.3.0?

  http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2004/05/msg00224.html

While not official, those backports are prepared my a member of the Debian
XFree86 package maintenance team and are *extremely* close to the official
packages.

If you do this, please let us know so that we can close the bug as fixed by
a more recent version of the package.
