** 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 i855 are probably due to the CPU/GPU incoherency
  problem that is now consolidated upstream at
  http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187 (which was split off
  from a bug report for i845). For now, we mark all automatically reported
  GPU lockups on i855 as duplicates of this unless there is a reason not
- to. There are some tests you may do to help upstream with this issue,
- and I will come back with instructions here. For those of you who know
- how to patch and compile a kernel you may look at comment #30 (and #6
- for what kind of feedback they want) in the upstream bug report.
- Actually, if someone could volunteer to build an ubuntu-packaged kernel
- with this patch for others to test, that would be nice.

+ A kernel with the proposed fix is available at https://launchpad.net

+ 
+ 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
  
  There is a similar master bug report for i845 at bug 541492.
