There are a number of fixes about pageflipping with drm/i915 in the changelog 
of 2.6.34.2. So, I installed this new kernel and rebuilt xf86-video-intel 
without the patch to disable pageflipping. I have a G45 graphics and I 
suffered from frequent hangs with previous kernel versions and a 2D driver 
with pageflipping enabled. Now, using 2.6.34.2 and pageflipping enabled, I had 
my desktop running for 6 hours and no hangs occurred so far. I'll keep it 
running and report back if an hang occurs.

cheers,
Stefano
