Sorry for the long silence.  I wonder if this was fixed by
v2.6.32.16~48 (drm/i915: Rebind bo if currently bound with incorrect
alignment, 2010-05-27) which was part of version 2.6.32-16 of Debian's
kernel packages, or one of the many other i915 fixes in squeeze.

Do you still experience this bug?  What kernel version do you use?

Thanks,
Jonathan
