XBMC/KDE artifacts since xf86-video-intel 2.99.912-1
Since updating to xf86-video-intel 2.99.912-1, sometimes when going to or coming from full screen mode in XBMC, XBMC shows artifacts. In some cases, this also crashes KDE effects and/or creates artifacts in the rest of the desktop. Does anyone else have the same problem?
I thought enabling/disabling the TearFree option to see if it has an impact (thought that the cause would be similar to the problem described in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=182911). But it doesn't have any effect.

Have you updated your kernel to 3.15 yet? I had the same issue but the new kernel seems to have fixed it

Same problem here. I also get artifacts when transition from Steam big picture mode to the desktop. I'm also using kernel 3.15.1-1.
Switching acceleration back to uxa seems to fix it.

I'd rather downgrade xf86-video-intel. Switching to uxa fixes the artifacts, but I can't set other screen resolutions (there's a black screen if I do)
