I have 2.5.0. After turning KMS off, problem seems to be solved.

Anyway, I would appreciate a version of the intel driver being in the 
Kconfig text, otherwise it looks like: don't use this on machines with 
installation from stone age. If one has latest stable release of a 
distro, he doesn't even think he doesn't have "new enough userspace".

For reference, the text is:
Choose this option if you want kernel modesetting enabled by default,
and you have a new enough userspace to support this. Running old
userspaces with this enabled will cause pain.
