I've been testing with Xubuntu, 
ubuntu kernel version 2.6.32-11
libdrm2 version 2.4.17+git20100120
xserver-xorg-video-intel version 2:2.10.0+git20100120

The first test was after installing xubuntu-desktop metapackage, but
leaving all my other stuff installed.

Uptime was 6.5 hours with no freezes. I even turned on Xubuntu's window
compositor to see if that would make a difference, and nothing happened.

Not being sure that something I'd previously installed was affecting the
results, I did a fresh install of Xubuntu and ran another test.

Same result. Uptime of nearly 4.5 hours, including some use of the
window compositor, and no freeze.

I am noticing some visual artifacts: occasional streaking (white
background with pixellated colour) and bits being left out of type. I've
attached a small screenshot of the latter.

Interestingly, the letter affected varies from instance to instance, but
when it happens, the same letter is affected universally throughout the
page. Often, a screen refresh or scrolling up and down will fix it.

I think that the xorg-edgers drivers may be heavier on RAM than the
standard ones.
