I have had the very same thing happen to me.  I even posted the question 
here on this mailing list only to find that nobody responded.  Of course, 
this meant to me that nobody knew the problem.  I even sent a bug report to 
the XF86 folks and received no response from them as well.

*shrug*

Let me know if you get an answer to this one as I am still wondering how to 
fix it even though I have since not used that machine anymore.
