I can't comment on that yet but I've tried this update on two netbsd-5.0 
machines with intel graphics (neither with any drm support in the kernel):

1) a 965Q segfaults on X server reset (worked around by getting kdm to 
terminate and restart X server on session exit)

2) my laptop with Mobile GM45 Express - segfaults immediately, had to back 
out to xf86-video-intel-2.4.3nb1
