Having it working properly for a few hours was probably still too much :-(

A couple hours ago got released to the mirrors "xserver-xorg-video-intel_2%3a2.7.99.1+git20090502.cfb98f3d-0ubuntu0sarvatt2_i386.deb" and this one definitely breaks EXA : xorg does UXA even though EXA is specifically requested in xorg.conf :-(

So even though I specify EXA, now I get UXA back with all its bugs and crappy performance :-(

OK, I have reverted back to "xserver-xorg-video-intel_2%3a2.7.99.1+git20090427.e55d9431-0ubuntu0sarvatt_i386.deb" and EXA is repaired.

Now I "aptitude hold xserver-xorg-video-intel" for being sure to stick to it, and to be completely sure, I removed the PPA repositories from sources.list.

More than tired with this. I'll stick to my current working solution until 9.10 Karmic or when an update comes out stating that the issue is definitely and reliably fixed.

People who'd like to keep using EXA better make sure to stay away from xserver-xorg-video-intel_2%3a2.7.99.1+git20090502.cfb98f3d-0ubuntu0sarvatt2_i386.deb ...
