Description:
After upgrading my HP G62's intel drivers to version 2.21.5-1, I am now getting massive flicker on the Windows 8 guest (so bad it's basically unusable). A downgrade to version 2.21.4-1 fixes the problem.

Additional info:
xf86-video-intel-2.21.5-1
virtualbox 4.2.10-2
virtualbox-host-modules 4.2.10-2
virtualbox-ext-oracle 4.2.10-1
Windows 8 (guest)

Steps to reproduce:
Try to run a Windows 8 guest with xf86-video-intel-2.21.5-1 on virtualbox 4.2.10-2.
