Did you test the former intel 2.3.2 from experimental, i.e. same driver
than before with Xserver 1.4.99.x from experimental ?

I tend to feel like my i945 does not lockup/blank anymore since I
upgraded Xserver from unstable (1.4.2) to experimental (1.4.99.905)
without upgrading the intel driver to 2.4 yet.
