X doesn't crash anymore, however video content isn't displayed (using 
xv) either (the video plays, but the player window remains black 
(rarely parts of the desktop are visible), the whole overlay isn't 
filled), after a few moments fonts and windows gain heavy artefacts 
(drop shadows, wrong colours, weird effects all around [1]).

If I force the video player to x11 (e.g. -vo x11 for mplayer2) the 
video is displayed normally.

If I downgrade libdrm-intel1 to 2.4.27-1 again, while keeping libva1/ 
libva-x11-1 1.0.14-1.1 and xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.17.0-1+kibi1
installed, I can't reproduce the window/ font corruption anymore, but 
video overlays using xv remain black.
