Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

[Sorry for the silly title. ;-)]

The Intel driver in Maverick (2.12.0) is almost unusable for i915
because of redraw issues. Damaged areas don't seem to get repainted as
needed, which mostly happens with scrolling areas (web pages, text
processing, this kind of small use cases...). I've personally solved the
issue by moving to xorg-edgers PPA since the release, but for most i915
users, Maverick will be a no-go.

I know that fixes were committed upstream quickly after Maverick was
released, which made all glitches go away. I'm not sure they are present
in 2.13.0, though. So I don't know what should be done, but from i915
owner's POV, I don't think Maverick can be worse. Feel free to close
this as Won't Fix if you consider this as too messy, but OTOH if you
need some testing of package, I can do it.
