Something is very broken in saucy atm. I think the issue runs deeper.

Hmmh, has worked for me though. There's 3.11 now, does it improve anything?

It is, or was, generating EPERM.

Carlos can you install xorg-edgers (I hope that is uptodate with the Mir upstreaming) and see what happens?

The released package is still broken.

Building from source (git://people.freedesktop.org/~ickle/xf86-video-intel, xmir branch) works for me.
