this is a backing store issue. by default, idl lets the server use the
backing store. this doesn't work in xf86 for some reason. anyone know
why?

anyway, the fix is to force idl to take care of that stuff by issuing
this in an idl startup file:

device, retain = 2

I use XF86-4.0.1 / Mandrake 7.1 and it works fine.
