So maybe is yours fault , because 945GM works since early drives without
problems.

Update only Xserver , the most probably that things stop work , after
that you should recompile all drives (including xorg-x11-drv-intel)  , 
see if xorg-x11-drv-intel requires a new libdrm and if libdrm requires a
new mesa etc . If so before compile Xserver , you should compile libdrm
and after that mesa.
So the order should be:
1st kernel 
2nd libdrm
3 mesa.
4 Xserver
5 all drives.

Top-posting is to read only the top of the posting , If you know the
message , is more efficient . that looking for the answers in meddle of
the text.
