Latest git + v9 patch works for me. However, another bug (invisible cursor) was introduced, that I needed to track down and fix.

Legolas: you can do a git-bisect of the kernel source to find out which patch introduced the bug that affects your machine.

Indan: for me the v9 patch primarily gets rid of font rendering errors. Without it, my system is quite stable now modulo opengl/flash. I don't care too much for them either, but it also means compositing (and thus compiz/GNOME 3) is out of the question.

Let's hope Intel will not decide to simply stop supporting the 855 chipset, which Phoronix is hinting at.
