The 2.4.1 driver from git (well, really from http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/driver/xf86-video-intel-2.4.1.tar.gz) but I guess that would be the same) didn't compile properly on Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty). Instead I took the ubuntu package from https://launchpad.net/~siretart/+archive/ppa which is the same as the Intrepid (8.10) package but with a couple of extra patches to make it compile on Jaunty. I then disabled the patch 22_no_pipe_for_hotplug_detection.patch which is exactly the 7b6f... commit mentioned above. I hope that provides an equally good test case as your unpatched 2.4.1 would. If the deb-package with the patch disabled works for Jordi, it should be clear that 7b6f... is the problem.
