Brice, do I suppose to close this problem (since it's partially fixed

Your bug is not fixed. XAA is a workaround. Having X hang by default is
not acceptable. So I am keeping this bug anyway and I will contact you
again to try without XAA next time a new driver version arrives (2.2.1
is expected within a couple weeks).
By the way, looking at your first log, I wonder whether all kernel
modules were loaded correctly on your machine. You apparently didn't
have any /dev/dri/card0. Can you look in lsmod to see whether the 'i915'
module is loaded? If not, can you load it (modprobe i915) and try again
without XAA ? Please send the corresponding Xorg.0.log anyway.
Can you please explain what does AccelMethod option do and if you
might know what is the reason for the second problem after I've added
this option.
AccelMethod defines which 2D acceleration engine is used. The old one is
XAA. The new one is EXA (enabled by default since driver 2.2). EXA is
better in most circumstances.
