Madbiologist, that sounds almost too good to be true. This problem has caused me so many sleepless nights over the last years... Do you know if it is possible to install "xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.20.16" from the Raring Ringtail into Precise? Or would the package need backporting to work in precise?
