xsrc builds a loadable XFree86 X server by default there should be no real 
difference between this and an XFree86 built from xfree86 "raw" sources.

I agree.

If you're interested in looking at source only xsrc/xfree/xc/ (XF 4.4) is 
relevant since xsrc/xc (XF 3.x) is not what you have built.

Just as an activity to narrow the problem would it be possible for you to 
build x11 (from the 4.4 tag) of xfree86's "raw" source and see if the problem 
exists there.  It is possible that between your 4.4 RC2 and the 4.4 release 
something got broke.  Obviously use the same h/w & config it's failing on 
now.  If you do this and find it is only in xsrc that at least gives us a 
place to start.
