Xorg Lockup on Intel 910 [solved!, sort of]

I installed Arch on an older HP laptop last night. I Syu'd, set up apache, proftpd, openssh.. everything worked well.
This morning, I followed the instructions on the wiki to install X.
I tested the xorg.config.new and the machine locked up - requiring a hard reboot.

I ssh'd into it a few minutes ago, and tried it again. This time, X froze again, but I got something interesting out of it;

[root@kfam ~]# X -config xorg.conf.new

X.Org X Server 1.6.0
Release Date: 2009-2-25
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.28-ARCH i686
Current Operating System: Linux kfam 2.6.28-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 17 06:42:43 UTC 2009 i686
Build Date: 02 March 2009  06:09:25PM

        Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
        to make sure that you have the latest version.
Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
        (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
        (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Sun Mar 22 11:48:50 2009

Apparently, this is a problem with the [testing] kernel, not an issue with 2.6.25 (have not confirmed this myself).

I'm posting this to find out if there's a bug report on this somewhere, or some solutions.
I realize there a bunch of threads around the forums about X Lockups, but most of them deal with different cards.

Here are the logs;

Some stuff that stands out;

(--) PCI:*(0@0:2:0) Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller rev 3, Mem @ 0xb0080000/524288, 0xc0000000/268435456, 0xb0000000/262144, I/O @ 0x00001800/8

(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)
(II) No APM support in BIOS or kernel

Edit:
I tried this again with the intel driver. Logs are on http://kfams.ath.cx/X_Logs/.

Re: Xorg Lockup on Intel 910 [solved!, sort of]

The new intel drivers are currently a mess. I have a machine that I work on that I regressed everything X related back using the following repo. I had to because of lock ups nearly every time I tried to log out of that machine:
