Bug Description
Since Maverick, Ubuntu has enabled the fbdev driver by default instead of the -intel driver for i8xx chipsets because of bug 541511 and its cousins (cache-coherency; bug 27187 upstream [1]). This bug has been fixed upstream and applied to the mainline linux kernel since 2.6.38-rc7 with the commit "agp/intel: Experiment with a 855GM GWB bit". As such, Oneiric should not contain the fbdev workaround since its 3.0 kernel contains the upstream patch.

xorg-server (2:1.10.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Cyril Brulebois ]
* New upstream release (with just a version bump).
* Remove the Replaces: xdmx from xdmx-tools, that was before lenny.
* Add a Breaks: libgl1-

* Set urgency to “medium” to speed things up. Migration to testing is
a prerequisite for squeeze backports.
[ Julien Cristau ]
* Merge packaging changes lost from the 1.7 (squeeze) branch:
+ Add Breaks on drivers abandoned between lenny and squeeze. This helps
apt decide to remove them instead of removing all of X. Thanks, David
Kalnischkies!
+ Set default xkb rules to evdev on linux, to work around a wrong default in
configure.ac and an Xorg issue where it reverts to the default on reset.
Thanks to Bastian Blank for the report.
