Ok, I'll try that sometime this week - can I do that independently of
any other downgrades? (last time I played with X drivers much I was
rebuilding the whole X server anyway - my instinct tells me I can just
downgrade this package without having problems in this case).

Yeah, I'll start with the X driver itself. Hopefully it's just something
in there that's changed to cause my recent woes.
