xorg log with the crash

Something I should mention: this is a 64 bit kernel with 32 bit userspace.
Haven't tried with a 32 bit kernel.

Can you try xf86-video-intel 2.8.0?

Why do you disable KMS?

A separate bug
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22660
is why I disable KMS: no  modes besides the max one work.
But that is not a regression: it also happens with 2.6.30.

Will try latest bits, but note the server crash seems
like a kernel regression, anyway.

xorg.conf that I used

OK, I built the following versions from git:
dri2proto  dri2proto-2.1
drm  libdrm-2.4.12-8-g4507863
macros  util-macros-1.2.2
mesa  mesa_7_5-1982-gd07bf2b
pthread-stubs  0.1-1-gef2431f
xf86-video-intel  2.8.0-19-g50e2a67

With these, I can't activate desktop effects.

KDE gave me this message:
Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be reverted to their previous values.
Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type.

I will attach the log, but it seems a separate issue.

log from X 2.8.0 - failed to activate desktop effects at all. separate issue?

BTW, I tried KMS with 2.8.0 and I can't activate
desktop effects there either, while it works with bits
from fedora 11.
Any idea what I did wrong?

sounds like bug#22838

yes, I rolled back mesa to the version fedora ships and the following
set of versions does not crash with the new kernel:

dri2proto  dri2proto-2.1
drm  libdrm-2.4.12-8-g4507863
macros  util-macros-1.2.2
xf86-video-intel  2.8.0-20-gaf45482

xserver: 1.6.1.901 (1.6.2 RC 1)
mesa version:
  GL_RENDERER   = Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset 
     GEM 20090114 x86/MMX/SSE2
  GL_VERSION    = 2.1 Mesa 7.6-devel
  GL_VENDOR     = Tungsten Graphics, Inc

sorry, (In reply to comment #13), this comment 13 is wrong.
I tested with KMS, which never had the crash, rather than UMS.

verified with UMS, versions in comment 13 prevent
server from crashing with 2.6.31-rcX.

Is the mesa in comment 13 the same as the one in the original report?

Yes. In other words, intel driver from fedora crashes
on 2.6.31-rcX, but new one built from source does not.

If I also update mesa I can't activate desktop effects at all,
but that's a separate issue.

If rebuilding the driver from source was all that was required to prevent the crash, then unless the fedora package was carrying a patch that we wanted tested, I have to conclude that the bug was fixed. And hopefully the mesa issue was also resolved, KDE effects were working last time I checked...
