The new X server will automatically load dri2 if you don't explicitly define dri in load module section, and dri2 needs uxa. So if you try to use dri+uxa or dri2+exa, X server would hang up just like you described. I met the same problem last night, and this is my conclusion from Xorg.log.0.

Hello,
Unfortunately, I am facing some screen corruptions, as seen on this screenshot: http://nbigaouette.inrs-emt.homelinux.net/linux/arch/xf86_video_intel_cor ru ption.png
Same problem here. It seems using Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" in the device section of xorg.conf solves the problem for me.
I'm also having issues. Tried using UXA and everything works fine until I log off: screen goes black and no response via keyboard (no ctrl+alt+Fn nor ctrl+alt+backspace).
Hardware is a Dell Latitude D610:
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)
Haven't tried to ssh from another laptop.
I've removed the UXA line and added this to the xorg.conf:
Option "AccelMethod" "exa" Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Now it seems to be working fine.
