 The xf86-video-intel server 2.6.3 release repeatedly crashes on my
 Thinkpad too.  There are several ways to trigger a crash (i.e. move
 another window on top of a media player like mplayer, totem, etc.),
 and the crashes seem to be most of the time in:

 I see that freedesktop has released 2.7.0 now, which allegedly fixes
 several crash bugs in the 2.6.3 release:
 
   http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2009-April/045117.html
 
 I've just updated my local port to 2.7.0 a few minutes ago and attached
 the patch of the update to this message.  The 2.7.0 release of the Intel
 video driver seems a lot more stable so far.  At least, I haven't been
 able to crash it by switching desktops while a video is playing or by
 clicking to the context menu of a media player, or by covering a media
 player with another window.
