I found out why it worked sometimes without double-buffer problems. Actually the problem has already been solved, but I managed to work around this solution ;) By using insmod on the driver I compiled myself the options set in /etc/modprobe.d/options got completely ignored, however one of them is to enable double-buffering for that driver. So this issue has been fixed already and the only remaining thing to get this bug closed is to apply the patch Simon Munton suggested.
