Kernel-based mode-setting, a new feature of Xorg still in heavy development aims to solve many of these problems by moving the mode-setting code from the user-space X driver into the Linux kernel. Phoronix takes a look at this new feature.

I guess that'll have to wait until next year, unless you download and compile the kernel yourself when the 2.6.28 stable release comes out.
