What's next - would you like me to file an upstream bug?
Yes please, giving me the URL or bug number so that I can link both
reports.
After trying experimental xorg (no working intel driver package -
boohoo), purging all of xorg and reinstalling the Testing versions it
all started working. Since I wasn't going to give up that easily I
hacked and hacked until I got it flickering again :-) and finally
figured out what was wrong with my setup:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Configured Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
DefaultDepth 16
EndSection
It seems that xserver-xorg-video-intel with KMS enabled just doesn't
work right with 16-bit colors. By changing the above to "24" and
restarting X it all started working beautifully.
Upstream bug for sure, and one that only affects us old beards who just
*KNOW* that 16-bit colors work twice as fast as 24-bit colors (with it's
newfangled four bytes per pixel).
*cough*
:-D
I think the Debian bug can be closed now.
