All the above indeed suggests that the problem is specific to your system (or at least a very small set of systems). It would be great if you could check upstream whether it's fixed in current xf86-video-intel git, and if it isn't, report it upstream at http://bugs.freedesktop.org and try to isolate the change that caused it with git bisect. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer
