[SOLVED] Intel HD 2500 configuration problems

I'm trying to get X to run bearably on this i5 3570 cpu and gpu is hanging whenever either of these options is not set in the X config:
Option "Shadow" "True"
Option "DRI" "false"

Relevant bits of dmesg log:
http://pastebin.com/jZtfDHmr
Full dmesg:
http://pastebin.com/nJQQdEYX

Xorg log:
http://pastebin.com/dggYBsGv

Efi conf with kernel params:
root=/dev/sda2 ro rootfstype=btrfs init=/bin/systemd add_efi_memmap initrd=\arch\initramfs-linux.img i915.semaphores=1 enable_mtrr_cleanup mtrr_spare_reg_nr=1


xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf:
Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
    Driver      "intel"
# Option "Shadow" "True"
# Option "DRI" "false"
    Option      "AccelMethod"  "sna"
# Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa"
# Option      "AccelMethod"  "xaa"
EndSection

Only works with Shadow and DRI lines uncommented, acceleration methods don't seem to make any noticeable difference. I get GPU to hang by simply running glxgears. It hangs almost right away and the performance is really bad. Less than 1 fps actually.

Bits of mkinitcpio.conf:
MODULES="intel_agp i915"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems usb usbinput fsck"

I tried both 3.5 kernel from testing and intel driver from git, but the problem remains.

I know I'm missing something trivial. But what could it be?

EDIT:
Here's the /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state:

Re: [SOLVED] Intel HD 2500 configuration problems

Hello,

got an i5 3470S and do not get the 3D support running for the HD2500.

Opened a bug at freedesktop. org some weeks ago, but nobody responded. May you can comment on it and we get more attention to it. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52947

Re: [SOLVED] Intel HD 2500 configuration problems

Ok, I will check that bug report.

What I have found is similar bug report there. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53235 My CPU is stepping 9 too so I tried mesa-git (with libgl-git, intel-dri-git and xf86-video-intel-git). I haven't had time to check if this worked or not, but the first time I ran glxgears I got 50FPS (on a 50hz monitor setting) and the second time it was unlimited by refresh rate (6000FPS I think). I didn't do any changes to config files. I may have removed semaphores and mtrr settings from kernel params though. On the last run, CPU usage was around 60% on 1 of the cores. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be like that or not. The other problem is that mesa-git provides one file which conflicts with libgbm. Libgbm is a dependency for some other packages I need.

EDIT: I installed libgm from mesa-git build. Everything seems to working properly even without mtrr settings. VA and sound pass through are working.
