I know this is not really what you want to hear about, but you should
wait for the fix to solve itself. The reason I'm saying this is that
Intel programmers are really working hard on their graphics drivers with
Steam comming to Linux and this is probably just a bug in their drivers
to which we have no power.

I could also be wrong though but I learned to just back off and wait
when a new kernel version breaks something.
