This specific issue has been fixed (for me, Intel 865G on arch linux) in mesa-9.1-2 which is at the time of writing in the testing repository.
9.1 does regress with respect to 8.0 (ie, "Speed Dreams" just crashed on me, which it didn't use to) but that sort of thing is just business as usual for older intel. In two releases time, nothing will work anymore again, so let's count our blessings for now. Or rather, I guess from the reply one above, let's count the number of opensuse users -- and prey to god it stays above 1000 so that the pack of drug-crazed baboons that have been fucking up 3D on older intel on basically each and every release for multiple years now keeps getting told so by en entity with a cool corporate presence. Or something.
