When I use a 2.6.29-rc kernel which has Intel kernel mode setting enabled, the display goes blank when X is started, and the X process starts using 100% of cpu time. strace does not return anything, so apparently it's not doing any syscalls. According to gdb, it's stuck in this function: Thread 1 (Thread 0x7fbf82dc96f0 (LWP 3985)): #0 0x00007fbf7eb04d30 in fbSolid (dst=0x7fbf7e5fa000, dstStride=<value optimized out>, dstX=<value optimized out>, bpp=<value optimized out>, width=<value optimized out>, height=16, and=0, xor=4294967295) at fbsolid.c:79 #1 0x00007fbf7eafd5e4 in fbFill (pDrawable=<value optimized out>, pGC=<value optimized out>, x=0, y=0, width=16, height=16) at fbfill.c:53 #2 0x00007fbf7eafd7f6 in fbPolyFillRect (pDrawable=0x5192ea0, pGC=0x5192ef0, nrect=0, prect=<value optimized out>) at fbfillrect.c:77 #3 0x00007fbf7e8e6234 in ExaCheckPolyFillRect (pDrawable=0x5192ea0, pGC=0x5192ef0, nrect=1, prect=0x7fff8ade6dd0) at exa_unaccel.c:229 #4 0x00007fbf7e8df172 in exaPolyFillRect (pDrawable=0x5192ea0, pGC=0x5192ef0, nrect=1, prect=0x7fff8ade6dd0) at exa_accel.c:777 #5 0x0000000000536a06 in ??

I believe that it was fixed long time ago, but feel free to reopen if I am wrong :).
This has started again with kernel 3.1.0. 3.0.9 is okay.
Russell, I do not believe you have an EXA bug, if you do then please note you are about 4 years behind on bug fixes. So please create a new bug with all the relevant debug info: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html
