My monitor is driven with a higher refresh rate than allowed by the
new driver: 60.02 Hz delivered vs. 60 Hz allowed, says the monitor.
Manually forcing Xorg with xrandr to use 59.9 Hz works.

And moving Xv windows around crash the X server.

Sorry, but more details are available in a week

My card (Lenovo T400, again):

pciconf -lv:
vgapci0 at pci0:0:2:0:     class=0x030000 card=0x211217aa chip=0x2a428086
rev=0x07 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA

dmesg:
vgapci0: <VGA-compatible display> port 0x1800-0x1807 mem
0xf4400000-0xf47fffff,0xd0000000-0xdfffffff irq 16 at device 2
.0 on pci0
agp0: <Intel GM45 SVGA controller> on vgapci0
agp0: detected 32764k stolen memory
agp0: aperture size is 256M
drm0: <Mobile Intel\M-B\M-. GM45 Express Chipset> on vgapci0

In my opinion: If you have a laptop with this chip, stay to
xf86-video-intel 2.5.1. It works, but OpenGL apps create graphic
artifacts in 2D windows.
