Nope! See:

Since you use the newer, less stable intel driver, try "sax2 -r -m 0=i810" 
as root to actually change from the intel driver to the older, more stable 
driver.

Execute the simple "sax -r" to revert to the currently used intel driver.

"sax -r" should bring you back to your current situation. However, backing 
up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf before any sax execution should not hurt, since 
I cannot guarantee success.
