I see this warning, too. I have not noticed any problems resulting from it.

That might be a reason for the rendering latency, if your window manager
relies on AIGLX.

I would try to add

Option  "AccelMethod"   "UXA"

to this section and restart X. I also have a chipset from the 965 series
(965Q) and in my case switching to UXA (which enables DRI2) improved
both the stability and the rendering speed.

If you are inexperienced in Linux, you had better not run Debian
unstable.  Do yourself a favor and stick to stable or testing instead.

The latest Intel video driver seems to have some serious problems, you
may want to check the bug list at [1], especially the newly filed
"important" bugs.

Display problem after apt-get dist-upgrade

2009-04-12 Thread Kuang Chen 
Hi,

I apt-get and apt-get dist-upgraded everyday and I think
several xorg-related and intel graphics card got upgraded a
few days ago. Then the display of my computer got messed
up. The windows repait themselves slowly when they are moved
around: one can even see the obvious delay in repainting. So I am
sure something went wrong with the graphics card configuration or
things of that kind. I've attached my xorg.conf and
/var/log/xorg.0.log below. If anything beyond those is needed, I
can attach them then, as long as you can tell me what I should do,
since I am inexperienced in Linux. Thanks very much.
