Did you try this driver ? On my box (7.0 RC1), X crashs with a signal
11...

May be i missed something. I just updated the port's Makefile to match
the version.

With this version, X fails to allocate some memory :(II) intel(0):
(==) intel(0): VideoRam: 131072 KB
(**) intel(0): Framebuffer compression enabled
(**) intel(0): Tiling enabled
(==) intel(0): Write-combining range (0xfaf80000,0x80000) was already
clear 
(II) intel(0): Attempting memory allocation with tiled buffers.
(WW) intel(0): xf86AllocateGARTMemory: allocation of 10 pages failed
(Cannot allocate memory) 
(WW) intel(0): xf86AllocateGARTMemory: allocation of 4 pages failed
(Cannot allocate memory)

With version 2.1.1, it seems ok :
(==) intel(0): VideoRam: 131072 KB
(==) intel(0): Write-combining range (0xfaf80000,0x80000) was already
clear 
(II) intel(0): Attempting memory allocation with tiled buffers and
               large DRI memory manager reservation:
(II) intel(0): Allocating 5112 scanlines for pixmap cache
(II) intel(0): Success.
(II) intel(0): Memory allocation layout:
(II) intel(0): 0x00000000-0x0001ffff: ring buffer (128 kB)
