I also suffered from this bug.
But recently I found out, that it only happened, when there is a "Virtual"-option in my Xorg.conf:
Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Screen0"
 Device "Device0"
 Monitor "LVDS"
 DefaultDepth 24
 SubSection "Display"
  Modes "1280x800_60"
  Virtual 2960 1056
 EndSubSection
EndSection

When I removed the Virtual-option, everything went fine.

The other day i reinstalled my system (Arch Linux) and installed the newest packages from the testing-repository.
Namely those packages are:
xf86-video-intel 2.6.99.902-1
libdrm 2.4.5-2
mesa 7.3-2
xorg-server 1.6.0-1

After a few changes in my Xorg.conf I came to these settings:
Section "Device"
 Identifier "Device0"
 Driver "intel"
 Option "Legacy3D" "true"
 Option "DRI" "true"
        Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
        Option "ExaNoComposite" "true"
EndSection

I put the Virtual-section back in - I need my 22" lcd ;)

And what do my eyes see?
Everything works!

I also tried the latest xf86-video-intel via GIT. Same thing there.
I installed ioquake3 - and woohoo! 90fps.

Everything's great right now.

Maybe someone could try those Xorg.conf-settings and the latest git-version.
