I posted about the current status of the 8xx problems onto the i855
master bug, and it's equally relevant to i845.

It bears repeating here though: take care to know that this bug is very
conditions sensitive, so what might appear to "fix" it for you might not
fix it for another user with identical hardware to you, and might cause
massive breakage to someone else.  There aren't going to be silver
bullets here, but there'll be plenty of lead.

I find Michael's observation that 2.8.0 resolved it quite interesting,
and would like to hear other 8xx owner's findings when reverting to
that.  Might give another way to work around the problems, and/or a lead
on what caused them to begin with.
