** 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.
  
- There is now a potential fix upstream. A driver package with the
- backported fix is available in the PPA
- https://launchpad.net/~gomyhr/+archive/standard . 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.
+ A fixed kernel is available at https://launchpad.net/~brian-rogers/+archive/graphics-fixes
+ To use this fixed kernel, run the following commands:
+ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:brian-rogers/graphics-fixes
+ sudo apt-get update
+ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
+ sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.34-52-generic
+ 
+ NOTE: As of May 26th, 3:54 PM PST, the kernel hasn't finished building
+ and isn't available. It should be ready in a couple hours, and I will
+ remove this notice.
  
  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.
