** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
  
  This is a MASTER bug report, i.e. not a real bug report, but a tool to
  help manage other bug reports.
  
  Most bug reports on i845 are probably due to the CPU/GPU incoherency
  problem that is now consolidated upstream at
  http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26345 . For now, we mark all
  automatically reported GPU lockups as duplicates of this unless there is
- a reason not to. Upstream is currently working on this issue, and at the
- time of writing, they haven't asked for any tests to be performed.
+ a reason not to.
+ 
+ There is now a potential fix upstream. Brian Rogers has packaged the
+ latest xserver-xorg-video-intel from upstream which contains this fix at
+ https://launchpad.net/~brian-rogers/+archive/experimental/ . It would be
+ nice if you could test this and report ON YOUR OWN BUG REPORT[*] if this
+ fixes the problem, helps somewhat but it still hangs, makes no
+ difference, or fails in a completely new and exciting way.
  
  There is a similar master bug report for i855 at bug 541511.
+ 
+ [*] We want this information to follow your bug report if we later
+ unduplicate it. So just ignore that yellow box telling you not to
+ comment unless you think the duplicate status is wrong. An email with
+ the comment will anyway be sent to all the subscribers of the master bug
+ report.
