Note that the upstream 845G bug report has been reopened. It turned out that the fixes (which are contained in Brian's PPA kernel) are insufficient to fix the 845G-specific problem completely. The kernel will probably improve stability on 845G, but I think adding results from 845G to the upstream

Note that the new patch upstream fixes the 845G-specific part of this bug. The 845G also suffers from the same i8xx incoherency that the 855GM suffers from (LP bug 541511). There is a patch for that as well at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187#c281, but this has not been commited

Making me install the xorg-edgers repository would be useless. I have already tried that, and only ppa-purge saved me from having to wipe the entire freaking system to reinstall. I never saw any Unix system produce a more violent crash/lockup/retry cycle than that repository did to my machine.

I'm simply saying that it is entirely untestable on my machine, because just running the packages in that repository on that hardware made me think my monitor was about to blow its tube. isn't it possible to get the old Intrepid driver working with Lucid's X version, or has it changed too much?
