Hello again, over the last few days, I have done more testing. Bad news is that actually all driver versions crash, including the git-master branch. Sometimes it just takes longer, so it was not immediately noticeable. The crash doesn't even seem to depend on using OpenGL apps, as I first thought. The system freezes when switching outputs several times and than switching to VT. Sometimes it just crashes without VT-switch (output switching only), leaving the screen strangely distorted.
I did an strace for both the intel driver 2.2.0.90-3 from debian as well as the git-master version crashing, I hope that helps somehow. As these are quite long, I have packed them up. Both traces were copied from an SSH terminal, so its only the last thousand-something lines. If there is more I can do, just tell me. It might take a few days, though.
