[Bug 396171] [NEW] after installing latest x-swat intel driver for Karmic, screen is sometimes corrupted

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

After installing latest intel driver (xserver-xorg-video-intel version
2:2.7.99.901+git20090702.74227141-0ubuntu1) from the x-swat ppa (here:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates), I get a
serious screen corruption problem if I set the screen refresh rate
higher then 60hz.

I'm using a Thinkpad T61 with a docking station and the dock
automatically sets a refresh rate of 70Hz when undocking the computer
using the dock's eject button - so the screen corruption problem is
rather serious for me. When the screen gets corrupted, half the desktop
is inaccessible (as can be seen in the screenshot) so working around the
problem is not easy.
