I'm running ThinkPad X200 with latest updates:
Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics
Controller (rev 07)

Running with KMS disabled and with "nopat", I do not get freeze
firefox-ing to that site (with our without NoScript, with x86_64 flash
plugin).  I add "nomodeset nopat" to boot line.

I do see this at the end of  /var/log/Xorg.0/log:

(II) intel(0): Modeline "640x400"x85.1   31.50  640 672 736 832  400

(II) intel(0): Modeline "640x350"x85.1   31.50  640 672 736 832  350

(II) intel(0): EDID for output HDMI-1
(II) intel(0): EDID for output HDMI-2
exaCopyDirty: Pending damage region empty!

Not sure its relevant.

My @home monitor does not support KMS; I'll retest with my "KMS
approved" monitor @work.
