xserver-xorg basically contains nothing. The actual Xserver code is in
xserver-xorg-core. Your problem is probably in the intel driver, hence
reassigning this bug accordingly.

You are probably experiencing the same bug than the one reported in
#420292 (I am merging these bugs). It has been reported upstream at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10487 but it's not clear
whether it has been fixed yet.
