I was having this problem too, until I decide to really dig into the
problem and finally have a working system with G35 chipset.
Basically, the new intel drivers use a new acceleration system called
UXA, and this requires kernel mode switching support. Also, it seems to
use code from the framebuffer driver. So, you have to have a very
specific kernel config that includes framebuffer driver, and console
using framebuffer and the kernel must be 2.6.30-4 or above.
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y
CONFIG_DRM=m
CONFIG_DRM_I915=m
CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL=m
CONFIG_FB=m
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=y
CONFIG_FB_DDC=m
CONFIG_FB_BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT=m
CONFIG_FB_CFB_COPYAREA=m
CONFIG_FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT=m
CONFIG_FB_INTEL=m
CONFIG_FB_INTEL_I2C=y
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK=y
CONFIG_VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE=256
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=m
Also emerge the latest mesa, latest xorg-server, and latest intel
driver.
Also remove all driver options in the xorg.conf file.
If that works for you you might then also enabled XvMC:
Option "XvMC" "true"
Just for movie playback improvements.
Works for me, YMMV.
