Two more people have asked me the same question today
so I'm going to post the only solution I've found to both
places I've seen complaints.
I figured out how to get rid of the corruption, at least on my
system. Unfortunately it is at the expense of optimizations.
A added an option to the XF86Config-4 file to turn off acceleration
for the i810 driver and also removed a line from the file that
listed my video ram as 16M when it really is only 4M. The
relevant section of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 follows:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel 810"
Driver "i810"
BoardName "Unknown"
# VideoRam 16384
Option "NoAccel" "On"
EndSection
Hope this helps, the driver obviously needs to be debugged, one
or more of the accelerations is doing bad things.
