Apparently you have an Intel GPU and use the modesetting(4) driver (the
default). You could try to disable acceleration
(Option "AccelMethod" "none" in xorg.conf) or use the intel driver
(cp /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-intel/xorg.conf /etc/X11), and see
if that makes a difference.

That's finally something I _can_ reproduce, thanks for filing the xfd
bugs.

Disabling the PageFlip option in xorg.conf might help to avoid those.
