I agree that i965 should be the default driver.
There is a bug in xf86-video-intel (xserver-xorg-video-intel). It leads to iris crashes when DRI2 and the intel DDX driver (instead of modesetting) are in use.

Almost all current Linux distributions are affected (including Fedora Rawhide and openSUSE Tumbleweed). Basically, everything that uses xf86-video-intel (xserver-xorg-video-intel) older than 2 months (or without patch) is affected.
