Bug 309235

I actually use chipset i915 with Intel Graphics (Ivy Bridge) (xf86-video-intel-2.20.12-1) configured with UXA (stock) acceleration.
When using OpenGL for desktop effects rendering there are graphical curroptions, such as tearing and while line borders around some dock (avant-window-navigator) icons. 
After some time, it produces GPU hangs (as read in /var/log/erros.log) lasting sometimes seconds, sometimes freezing X completly and in some rare occations, crashing (interrupting the signal to the monitor, and without the options to switch to console mode or do any hot key command at all) leaving as only option to reset.
This problem is not presented when using SNA acceleration, or using XRender for rendering. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set "UXA" as acceleration method and OpenGL for desktop rendering
2. Just work, borwse the web or any other task
3. The screen starts to freeze and erros.log show the "GPU hang" legend
Actual Results:  
The sme, Xfreezes or crash

Expected Results:  
Keep working smoothly
