After the update to Xorg 1.9 I had to disable compositing (editing ~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc). I own an intel gm45 chipset.
I tried to update to xorg, mesa and intel video driver from [unstable], too, and found kde unusable with compositing enabled (huge flickering). So, I reverted all the stack back to [extra]. I own an intel gm45 chipset, too. Stefano

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kde#KDE_4.5_specific_graphics.27_issues I believe this is an inevitable regression and side-effect of "bringing back" the Blur effect, which is enabled by default (don't try to disable it - your KWin will still freeze without indirect rendering). -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD

I updated again xorg-server and mesa from [unstable] and compiled myself xf86- video-intel by re-introducing the patch to disable page-flipping. Now I can use kde with compositing on xorg server 1.9 and no flickering occurs... Something should have been changed in the X server between 1.8 and 1.9 that breaks pageflipping. So far, I was using xorg-server 1.8 with a self-compiled xf86-video-intel with pageflipping-enabled with (almost) no problems... Stefano
