I, being a stubborn bastard refused to go back to intrepid, and my persistence may be vindicated by todays xserver-xorg-video-intel update. I can confirm that I too have been up and running for most of today without a single lock up (at least since early this morning before I updated). For most of the day I have been "walking on eggshells" so to speak, trying not to overload the xserver, but for the past few hours I have been testing its limits ( even testing out UXA ), and I haven't had a problem. In fact I am pretty sure that the lockups that a lot people testing UXA have been experiencing were due to whatever the hell this xorg bug was. I am unable to say whether its fixed for sure seeing as throughout this entire dreadful ordeal I haven't been able to find one error that was thrown from the X lockups. However I have my compiz effects settings dialed up too my liking, firefox along wit my preferred plugins is up an running fine, and I haven't crashed once yet. Will post again if this changes but for now it seems to be fixed......thanks to whoever fixed this :-)
