two things to try:  use UXA instead of SNA.  just this
in xorg.conf is all you need (or similar):

   Section "Device"
     Identifier "Card0"
     Driver     "intel"
     Option     "AccelMethod" "UXA"
   EndSection

alternatively, downgrade the driver.

if you cleandir and rebuild in
src/external/mit/xorg/server/drivers/xf86-video-intel
with 'nbmake-amd64 INTEL_DRIVER_DATE=2014', and
install that.
