Bug#616086: xserver-xorg-video-intel: Arbitrarily crashes X

now -intel uses KMS, plenty of features from the kernel, thus plenty
of bugs from the kernel. Moreover, squeeze's 2.6.32 has *a lot* of
fixes backported from newer kernel releases, so yes, that makes a
major difference in many cases.

If you can reproduce a crash, please check those pages:

If that's a SIGSEGV:
