I've already downgraded to an older version of the intel X driver, which seems to have fixed the issue. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get KMS working with the newer kernels (on boot it does not detect the laptop's LCD and blanks out), so I am stuck with not-upgrading the X drivers for the moment being.

Newton You may know this already but the Intel Graphics email list is populated with (among others) some of the Intel guys actually developing and testing the drivers. When I was bringing up my i5-661 machine they were very responsive in solving the few (and I think less severe) problems that I was having. They were pretty much right on top of what packages I needed to run to solve problems with my hardware. You might give them a try. It's a low volume list. http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ Good luck, Mark
