OK, two what next questions then... 1. Where did you find the 2.7.0 version, I don't seem to have that available and I thought I had every Intel driver repo known to man configured. :-) 2. If we file an upstream bug specific to EXA... will it be marked WONTFIX, because EXA is on the way out?

The new release implements a workaround by default, which prevents the average needing to mess with xorg.conf to make the problem go away. The flipside of this is that if you have already changed xorg.conf because your config is above average, Bryce's patch won't make a bit of difference. I'm
