 Lately, I investigated whether the problem would be exhibited by
 modular/pkgsrc Xorg and its "xf86-video-intel" driver.  Using:
 
 NetBSD plextwo 7.99.26 NetBSD 7.99.26 (PLEXOR) #20: Tue Jan 26 20:01:28 CST 2016  sysop%x3650.technoskunk.fur@localhost:/r0/build/nbsd-tst/obj/i386/sys/arch/i386/compile/PLEXOR i386
 
 with "meta-pkgs/modular-xorg" from pkgsrc-2015Q4, the X server's "-retro"
 option properly displays the "root weave" pattern; "xterm" and "xconsole"
 scroll bars are rendered properly, and "twm" active window title bars
 display properly.
 
 Perhaps the version of "xf86-video-intel" in pkgsrc (and related
 dependencies) could be imported to xsrc?
 
 I'm in the process of checking this on netbsd-7.
