For now, you should be able to disable FBC:

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.c
index c34a8dd..2a82895 100644

Let us know if this works. There's a patch heading for 2.6.40 that
provides a module parameter to control FBC from the kernel command
line. We've got a couple X220s on order and I hope we'll be able to
reproduce (and fix) this issue -- FBC saves enough power that we'd like
to be able to leave it enabled on hardware that supports it.
