Cursor skipping under load with Intel KMS

This is driving me nuts...

Performance with Intel drivers and KMS is usually decent. However, under certain loads - most notably, starting Wine - the cursor skips and freezes nonstop. This wasn't an issue when I was able to disable KMS, but now that KMS is required... Well, there it is. Is there any way to work around this?

Re: Cursor skipping under load with Intel KMS

Well, downgrading the driver could do.
BTW, I can't even boot up normally with 2.10 driver and KMS - it simply throws out a blank screen. Downgrade to 2.9 solved the problem.
