Brian,

I'd like to test it. I've got i845 and i830 which have had a LOT of trouble with Maverick, Lucid, ....

At the moment both of them are running Maverick Alpha 3 updated to 31 August with default:

2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 20 14:24:04 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

dpkg -s xserver-xorg-video-intel | grep Version: Version: 2:2.9.1-3ubuntu5

As of a week or two ago they would hang randomly. Not lately. Yay!

I do ordinary user internet email, web browse, network printing, Open Office, test Ubuntu Alpha etc., .... I don't do games or eye candy. Of course the next update might tank them again, for the nth time, starting with Intrepid. Then it's back to i915.modeset=0 and xorg vesa.

I have had poor results on trying a fix to back fixes off to what it was before.
Also I'm not sure the fixes will be compatible with the usual torrent of daily updates?
I intend to do a second Maverick install on the i845G which has enough disk space and then try the fix. That way I don't disturb the current working version and have it to fall back on.

Thanks for working on this long persisting problem area.

Jerry
