Thank you for the report.

I'm wondering if the DRI disablement didn't work as intended. Did you
get the same problem when turning DRI off in xorg.conf as in comment
#27? If you haven't tried, you may use the the
xserver-xorg-video-intel in my standard PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~gomyhr/+archive/standard since that doesn't
have the DRI disablement patch. Could you check if you get the same
erratic behaviour with that?

Looking at the source code, it seems that the way that DRI is disabled
in other cases is by setting pI830->directRenderingType = DRI_DISABLED
in i830_driver.c. But I'm by no means an expert on this.

PS: Jerry, I don't know about a bug report for i830. I think adding
that to the mix here (where we're dealing with i845) will only make
everything more confusing.
