Quoting Bryce Harrington br...@bryceharrington.org:
[This is an automatic notice.]
We'd like to forward your bug upstream, however upstream requires
that you first test it against their newer driver code.
To save you the effort of building the driver from source, we've built
packages for the driver and its new dependencies.
So you have a couple options:
1. Download and test .debs for intrepid, from:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~intel-gfx-testing/+archive
-or-
2. Download and test the Jaunty alpha-2 (or newer) Live CD,
(which includes a beta of the new xserver 1.6 as well).
See http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/9.04/ for ISOs
Thanks ahead of time! You can simply reply to this email to report your
findings.
P.S., if you wish to forward your bug upstream yourself, please follow
these directions to do so:

[g45] Solid white screen that fades when using INTEL video driver on X4500MHD

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Intrepid Ibex Alpha 5. Live CD and Install do the same thing, the
display is fine until X starts then the screen on my SONY VGN-FW140E
laptop (using the x4500MHD, aka Cantiga, aka G45 graphics chipset)
turns bright white then begins to fade in an uneven pattern over a
period of about 20 minutes. The computer continues to boot and acts
like everything is fine. If I have an external monitor hooked up to
the VGA port, I can get video on it just fine but the LVDS still
does not work.
Using the external monitor, I have tried to change the resolution
via the RandR app, the screen will go blank for a second then return
solid white again and slowly begins to fade. The Xorg.0.log file
does not show anything strange and reports the proper resolution of
the LVDS and knows that it is attached.
I am able to use the VESA driver to get 1024x768 output on my
1600x900 laptop display.
I have also tried the latest Beta of Mandriva and get the exact same
results with it as I do with Intrepid Alpha 5.
I have noticed that when the display is white, if I switch to
another VT and back to VT7, I can see an after image of the text
that was displayed on the other VT. It almost looks like all the
memory registers for the display get charged and then are never
refreshed so they begin to fade as the charge on the memory
dissipates. This is just a wild guess and based solely on watching
the screen.
I am using the 2:2.4.1-1ubuntu2 xserver-xorg-video-intel package.
