Xserver-Xorg-Driver-Intel Gitxx722 exhibited some stability regression especially when compared to Git710. I have also noticed that kernel upgrades tend to obliterate the add-on packages for the fix, and that these need to be re-installed to be effective. I currently have the fixes applied to new kernel 2.6.32.24. Performance is very good in terms of speed and rendering quality, and I have high hopes that it will pass tonight's screensaver challenge. It was however, as noted above, necessary to re-apply all the fixes as 2.6.32.24 by itself initially crashed almost immediately upon GL screensaver start up.
