Nope, that didn't fix it either. In fact it made it worse, because after it
froze I hit Esc and End and eventually it restarted X but it came back with
a black screen and I had to reboot. So I reverted to the latest stable
version (which was still freezing but at least recoverable). So I'm back on
xf86-video-intel 2.21.15. Oh, kernel 3.17.7 (with Gentoo patches) by the
way.
