Apart from the FPS in games going from ~50 to ~10, I have no issues (with an Intel 945GM). Going to try KMS but I haven't had much success with that during the RC stage...

Enabling KMS makes performance a bit better, though according to Thomas, it comes with bad colors. To enable KMS, you'll need this in modprobe.conf: option i915 modeset=1 Remember that KMS requires an up2date intel driver with UXA enabled to work. KMS enabled will not work with non-KMS drivers. I'll update xf86-video-intel, mesa and everything that's related to this to the latest branch snapshots. This should improve some things, though I have no hard results for it yet.
