Hi,
The v7 + locking patches work fine here on a JVC MP-XP731 (with an Intel 855GM rev 02), more than 3mb flushes and no hangs. Before (normal debian squeeze stack) X would crash shortly after login.

However, it feels slightly more sluggish than with the old intel 2.3 driver and Xorg 7.3, but that's probably because the patch does some extra debug checking?

My working setup right now is:

Linux 2.6.34-rc2 from drm-intel-next + v7 + locking patch
libdrm 2.4.18
intel driver 2.9.1
Xserver 1.7.6
Mesa 7.7.1-devel

So the only exchanged component is the kernel. I've made a package which is available for others to test here: http://www2.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~beier/tmp/linux-image-2.6.34-rc2_2.6.34-rc2-10.00.Custom_i386.deb

Thumbs up for the hard work!
