Brian,

I'd like to test it.  I've got i845 and i830 which have had a LOT of
trouble with Maverick, Lucid, ....

At the moment both of them are running Maverick Alpha 3 updated to 31
August with default:

2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 20 14:24:04 UTC 2010 i686
GNU/Linux

dpkg -s xserver-xorg-video-intel | grep Version:   Version:
2:2.9.1-3ubuntu5

As of a week or two ago they would hang randomly.  Not lately.  Yay!

I do ordinary user internet email, web browse, network printing, Open
Office, test Ubuntu Alpha etc., ....   I don't do games or eye candy.
Of course the next update might tank them again, for the nth time,
starting with Intrepid.  Then it's back to i915.modeset=0 and xorg vesa.

I have had poor results on trying a fix to back fixes off to what it was before.
Also I'm not sure the fixes will be compatible with the usual torrent of daily updates?
I intend to do a second Maverick install on the i845G which has enough disk space and then try the fix.  That way I don't disturb the current working version and have it to fall back on.

Thanks for working on this long persisting problem area.

Jerry
