I realise it's critical to you, but if it doesn't affect other users
then I'm afraid it's just not that high a priority. Most i865 systems
have been thrown out by now, and to be brutally honest I personally a
more concerned about supporting today's hardware properly.
You should also test with the older kernel to confirm that this is a
software and not hardware failure. You can get older package versions
from <http://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux/>. I would guess that
you were previously using version 3.2.23-1 (please don't mix up the
package version with the ABI version in the package name).
If that older version still works then please also test the intermediate
package versions 3.2.29-1 and 3.2.30-1. This should give us a smaller
range of changes to consider.
If you have time then you could also test the package linked from
<http://bugs.debian.org/687442#131>. I don't expect this to make a
difference but they might.
Ben.
