yes, my Xorg is 1.4.2 and xf86-video-intel is 2.7.1.
I have additional information, I retested with 3.4.12 with and without KMS :
3.4.12, no KMS : X works fine 3.4.12, KMS : X works fine but some garbage follows the mouse pointer on the external display 3.5.x no KMS : kernel BUG 3.5.x KMS : X server segfaults in intel driver
So in fact, both the KMS/non-KMS confs have regressed in 3.5 on this setup.
It is possible that the commit which removed the list of pinned inactive objects (1b50247a) has uncovered another long-time bug.
