OK, I already have an update on the issue: just found this thread which started in March already and describes precisely our problem: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.fr … intel/3105 -- apparently the reporter is using Debian so it's not an Arch specific issue after all I guess.

The issue is still present here with everything fully up-to-date...
Also affects vim+emacs, though vim more often than emacs. Probably since vim runs in a terminal window, whereas emacs has its own window...
Has anyone come up with a temporary fix?

I notice the same problem when using konsole under gnome3 + nvidia driver. Even gnome-terminal has this problem occasionally.
The strange thing is If I log into KDE, everything works well.

Jonhoo,
Thanks for referring me to this post from: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=122244 as it does sound like I'm experiencing the same issue. My temporary fix was to disable KMS (i915.modeset=0) and use the Vesa driver (xf86-video-vesa) instead of Intel's. It did fix my terminal issues as well as flash issues.

Unfortunately, I'm not even using the Intel driver.. I'm using the official nVidia drivers...

Same problem here (Intel GM965). For some reason, running xcompmgr fixes the issue.

Just a quick update: the bug seems to be gone now for me on linux 3.0.2-1 and xf86-video-intel 2.15.0-2.
