I have this problem, but have not looked into it on my laptop (Compaq Armada 
1700) (C&T 65555) 
No, I don't know a workaround, except to use an alternate dirver atm.

My belief is that X 4.2+'s Xv is broken, and unfortuantely I don't have the 
time/possibly skill to fix the problem, from my brief look at it while on a 
trip.

Using Gentoo Linux, btw.
