If you want to look deeper, some upstream bug reports about i865 problems: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22417 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22904 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20453 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20683 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21470 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22463 Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
