A data point, just in case it helps...  I've not had time to update my
desktop system, so this all-Intel, ICH9, e1000e-based box has been stuck
at 2.6.27-rc3.  It has rawhide as of shortly after the floodgates
reopened (but with my own kernel); that means X server 1.5.0 and i810
2.4.2-3.

It's happy as a clam. I'm not sure how often this problem bites, but it
hasn't gotten me.
