IIANM, Xorg 6.9 is exactly the same as 7.0, just packaged all together
(6.9) rather than in separate modules (7.0).  Thus I believe the
assumption that installing 7.0 would improve matters is incorrect.

FYI, RC1 without compositing enabled works flawlessly so far for me on
-CURRENT.  I'm running Xorg 6.9, portupgraded less than a week ago.
