Just picking the last message in the thread.

I found a Xorg bug report about the cairo 1.12 corruption. I will 
investigate this more closely tomorrow since I about to fall asleep. It 
seems there is a issue in EXA. People with cairo 1.12 should try to 
disable that and see if that helps. I think that can be done by putting 
the line below in your xorg.conf.

Option "NoAccel" "true"
