After running the server for a (seemingly arbitrary) length of time, parts of the screen will begin to be replaced by white blocks. This will continue until Xorg freezes completely apart from the mouse cursor. I don't experience this with the closed source "nvidia" driver.

do you experience this corruption with XAA disabled?
It doesn't look like it. I've been using it for a few hours now and I think it's safe to say that I would have seen the display corruption/freezing if it was enabled.
can you narrow it down to a particular XAA code path? see the various "XaaNo..." options in the xorg.conf man page.
XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps seems to stop the problem.
your log shows that you're still loading libglx.so from nvidia's closed driver. you should probably restore Xorg's libglx. also, try artificially reducing the amount of VRAM the driver utilized with the VideoRAM option. it may be that either you have bad vram or that the nv driver has a bug accessing high memory locations.
Well I completely removed the nvidia-glx package which resulted in the X.org version of the library being loaded (I checked to make sure) and I still got display corruption. I'll try your VideoRAM suggestion.
I tried setting: VideoRAM 65536 in my xorg.conf, but I still get: (--) NV(0): VideoRAM: 131072 kBytes in Xorg.0.log. Does this mean X is actually using that much VRAM?
Are you still experiencing this bug with a current version of xorg?
No, but then again it's been so long since I filed the bug that I'm not even using the same system I was when I filed the bug.
Closing as there are no hardware to reproduce this bug on.
