xf86-video-intel 2.6.3-2 problem

Hello,
after upgrade from 2.6.3-1 to 2.6.3-2 of xf86-video-intel driver I have got problem with 3D.
For example - KDE4-2 hangs (the kayboard stop working)
When I test it with twm -t then I have no problem with keyboard, but with 3D. The glxgears
shows chaotic tringles (not gears).
In Xorg.0.log I have got strange devices detected by evdev driver. There is something about Video bus detected
as Input Keyboard (few times).
After downgrade xf86-video-intel to 2.6.3-1 everything works fine again.
What is strange - after problems with display and keyboard under kde4 - the bios of my laptop (DELL E6400)
was starting very long time (more than 1 minute) from BIOS boot logo and progress bar to lilo display.

best regards

After hard locks the E6400 BIOS checks the memory thoroughly. This should only happen once after the lockup.

ok, thanks. I hope that xf86-video-intel from [testing] will be recompiled.
