i'm seeing the same with glxgears, see below for a gdb run...

if i login glxgears runs fine, until i start up some programs (licq,
psi, twinkle, skype)... then it hangs sometimes and doesnt redraw the
screen anymore. if i start it after that point it never draws...

seems to me, like some event goes missing somewhere... ? 

anyway, i'm on amd64 with intel from git, using the new event-driven
invalidate stuff...

what debugging would be helpful here? dmesg doesn't show anything
(abnormal) with kernel drm.debug=1 ...

cheers,
Flo

p.s.: i verified with strace that it hangs on that poll...
