I'd start with xorg-x11-drv-intel.  Update to the package set that
caused the problem, then for the bug report attach the output of
'dmesg', your entire /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, and the output of 'lspci
-nv'.  Also indicate your kernel version, the version of
xorg-x11-server-Xorg, and the version of xorg-x11-drv-intel.
