Linux intel vga quarter year release still NO-GO

No luck with the new driver release (im using the testing repo of Arch to grab it for my notebook): gma965 still crashes: java: brw_wm_surface_state.c:591: brw_update_renderbuffer_surface: Assertion `brw->has_surface_tile_offset || (tile_x == 0 && tile_y == 0)' failed.

Rant, rant, rant, why did they spoil this with crashy assertions. :/

(Commenting out the assertion, things run flawlessly. With this...it crashes)
