Edit your xorg.conf file and add
Option "NoAccel"
to your device section of this file.

After you upgrade your system, the newer xorg-x11 packages should work 
without this option added to your kernel. This is a longstanding problem 
  that gets a lot of us that have the Intel 810/815 video cards.

Stay away from the test kernels. They kill systems with 810/815 graphics 
controllers. The kernel in the updates repository works fine. It is the 
updates/testing repo to be aware of.
