Where did you get a 1:7.4~1ubuntu1.1 package? http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/x11-common shows only 1:7.4~1ubuntu1 as available (which I was able to successfully install on my system.)

Also remember to always attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log when reporting bugs against Ubuntu's X.org.

Sorry bout that. Guessing this can be marked invalid. Let me know if you need anything else.

thanks for testing, although that's not the package I asked you to test :)

anyway, this bug has been fixed in git.
