@SolidState2008, I agree completely, the "usability" aspect of that
script is not what I should be, especially not for xorg bugs when you
don't have a GUI browser.

>From the looks of it, your driver seems to default to XAA mode (not EXA
mode which is the default for modern intel cards on the 2.6.3 driver). I
wonder if that means EXA is not supported for your chipset (I've never
used an 82815 card before). Anyway, to narrow down the cause of this
bug, could you please try a few tweaks?

What happens if you turn of DRI for the driver? Better or worse? You can do this by adding the line:
Option "DRI" "off"
inside the "Device" section of the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf (you can read more about setting up options for the driver in "man intel")

If the "DRI" "off" tweak doesn't fix it, then remove that "DRI" option again and try this one instead:
Option "NoAccel" "true"

Also, try upgrading to the 2.7.1 version of the intel driver and see if that version still exhibits the bug. You can do this by adding the X-Updates PPA in your /etc/apt/sources.list and then running the update-manager program:

Finally, what happens if you run the intel driver in UXA mode? Did it work? Was it better or worse? You can do this by adding the line:
Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"
inside the "Device" section of the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf (you can read more about setting up options for the driver in "man intel")
