I had much the same thing happening several days ago with my x64 virtual machine 
(vmware).  Any time I tried to start X I'd get TWO copies of the display, both 
half height and half width, side by side, at the top of my display.  Since X was 
rapidly crashing any time this happened it wasn't at all useful, but it was also 
leaving the vga console in the same condition (very very tiny text).  It no 
longer happens with the xorg-x11-server-Xorg-*-4.+ versions.
