I don't know what rsync didn't update it, but it is updated now:

(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Thu Oct 15 13:36:06 2009

I removed the [testing] repository and downgraded to:

 libgl-7.5.1-2  intel-dri-7.5.1-2  xf86-video-intel-2.8.1-1

I also rebuilt kernel init with mkinitcpio -p kernel26

Now X just hangs. Here is the dmesg output with the downgraded packages. Let 
me know if you want me to go back to the [testing] packages. Thanks:
