1) Turn framebuffer compression off 2) Use EXA instead of XAA

That fixed all intel problems on Debian for me.

Some would limp into X but the graphics looked like a picaso painting after he spent a week on Orange Barrel. His suggestion, while I am not quite understanding why, fixed the problem straight away

1969...small little shack on Jefferson St. In berkeley...was a lab rat for a guy named Matt Ressert...tried to be the next Stanley Owsley.... Best job I ever couldn't remember. And no, "orange barrel" has nothing to do in this context with traffic construction.
