Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-i810

My Toshiba Libretto U105 starts up with the top of the screen (maybe top
25 pixel rows or so) filled with odd litter.

For example, while the Feisty Live CD boots, it's filled with green
pixels which repeat some system start-up message; the pixels are offset
so it cannot easily be read but it looks like "uncompressing kernel
....." or some such, with a lot of periods appearing like they do during
a non-graphical boot.

Once the system is up, the mouse cursor is also badly wounded or
completely missing.  If I hadn't discovered the following workaround,
the system would be completely unusable at this point.

As a workaround, cycling the display with fn+F5 a few times (external
display + internal LCD; external only; back to internal only) clears up
the situation.  After waking up after a  suspend, I have to cycle the
display again to get a working screen.

I have been running Edgy with this workaround for a few months, but
decided to try installing Feisty from scratch in case this would help
solve this problem.  Alas, I still have the same problem under Feisty.

I have a strong suspicion that this is identical to Debian bug
http://bugs.debian.org/362977 but I could be wrong, of course.
