You've mistaken the packaging version of the 'xorg' metapackage for the actual version of the X Window System server (in the 'xserver-xorg-core' package, version 1:1.1.1-0ubuntu8).

Edgy has had bits and pieces of X.Org 7.1x since early July. As of right now it has something resembling 7.1+ :

$ head -5 /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Release Date: 12 May 2006
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1
