OK, I'll test that idea. There did seem to be a stability improvement going from the stock xserver-xorg-video-intel to your 7:2.8.99.901-5-g57fc09c version, so I'll start again with that and the libdrm2 and mesa stuff from your ppa:
$ echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/brian-rogers/graphics-testing/ubuntu karmic main | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brian-rogers.list $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install libdrm2 libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx libglu1-mesa libosmesa6 mesa-utils $ sudo dpkg --install ~/Downloads/xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.8.99.901-5-g57fc09c_i386.deb $ dpkg --status libdrm2 | grep Version Version: 1:2.4.11-2+karmic3 $ dpkg --status libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx libglu1-mesa libosmesa6 mesa-utils | grep Version | uniq Version: 1:7.4.1-1ubuntu6+karmic Rebooted into kernel 2.6.31-19-generic.
