Thank you again, Takashi. I would like to forward your bug upstream so that more competent people than me may have a look at it. The developers at Intel usually get happier if we supply bugs from more recent software versions. So I'm wondering if you test Lucid (either by upgrading, testing a LiveCD or installing on a separate partition). Then upgrade to the xorg-edgers PPA (https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa) to get the latest versions of everything. Finally, make the following /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
 Identifier "my-945G"
 Driver "intel"
 Option "DebugFlushCaches" "1"
EndSection

If this configuration doesn't have other serious problems (sometimes xorg-edgers contain code that are a bit too recent, in that case, use the ppa-purge program available from that PPA to downgrade again), a fresh batchbuffer dump may be more useful than the previous one. Also, run `apport-collect 475492` in order to upload fresh log files here. If the xorg-edgers PPA doesn't work well enough or you have other problems with it, you can do the batchbuffer dump and apport-collect without it.
