[Bug 327064] intel: xserver crashes machine during VT switch after having used xrandr once

ok, two weeks later and still nothing has happened.
some observations:
a) it happens even without pluggin/unplugging AC
b) DISPLAY=:0 xrandr trashes display when run from text mode while X server is
running under :0. this only happens with intel, other chipsets work fine. it
doesn't seem allright that the X server trashes my display on that command.
c) smells like something is uninitialized. some X server runs are remarkably
stable. I can switch at least a dozen time between console/X without a hitch.
Somtimes its extremely unstable, and the very first switch after booting
already hangs the machine.
d) running an arbitrary application that keeps the X server saturated with
drawing seems like a good way to provoke the hang during vt switch.
i believe that b) could be related to the actual problem, given that KDE does
intensive xrandr queries, and if it does that at the wrong time during switch
from/to vt, it could cause this machine hang
my hardware doesn't have a parallel port anymore but it has firewire and USB,
if that helps.
given that this has more an ultrablocker state for me than being a normal bug
(essentially on bad days I have to reboot my machine 10 times a day, with lots
of unsaved work that is essentially lost), is there any chance that anyone
could work on this pretty pretty please?
