That's probably because those drivers do not support the exa
acceleration method.  Your valgrind log shows that the leaks happen in
damageCopyArea() which calls exaCopyarea() and then some other exa*
functions.  There is no code from the nouveau DDX involved here AFAICS.

I am reassigning it to the xserver-xorg-core package.  Hopefully
somebody who knows more about X than I do can give further help.

Cheers,
