Nicklas,
Yeah, I forgot you were on Arch. I don't know a ton about Arch (I only have
a linhes box that runs it and I rarely have to touch it:-). I am running
Ubuntu 11.04.  I wonder if it could be some of the aur patches. For example,
I only used the vaio patch on the vanilla torvalds 3.1.0-rc-6 kernel. I
noticed that the aur package had another i915 patch but it didn't appear to
be relevant so I didn't apply it. I only recompiled the mesa git pull using
make linux-dri-x86-64. I'm not sure how to proceed troubleshooting this. But
at least your  "stable" mesa works for now correct?
