I'm having this exact same issue. When Xorg starts with the intel
driver, it randomly crashes. If I keep rebooting, it eventually comes up
without crashing, and works fine from then on.

There's nothing in any logs about the crash. The system sometimes
completely freezes, sometimes I can get to a terminal. I should note
though that with the intel driver, *displaying* terminals has never
worked for me, it just gives a blank screen. However, I can still do
things in those terminals, I just don't get any video.

I tried running Xorg in gdb with the loglevel set to 127 (I'm not sure
what the highest value is), and with modeline debugging on and signal
trapping off. Sometimes it would get to the point where it'd print the
backtrace, and other times the log of gdb's output would just end
abruptly.

I'll attach the log with the backtrace. Unfortunately it seems like it's
crashing in random functions, so I think it could be an array
bounds/memory corruption issue in the driver. I also have a core dump,
but I'm not sure how to populate it with debug symbols, so I don't know
how useful it would be. I can attach the core dump if you'd like.

When I get time I plan on running the plugin with Valgrind. I'll try
those git builds when I get a chance as well.
