Funny you should mention i810. I installed it but deborphan

22 months of development and they STILL can't get it right.

Yes. I am thinking that etch used the i810 driver and lenny
uses the
intel graphics driver. You can use aptitude from the
command line to
wipe the xorg and x11 related files and reinstall using etch.
I use
synaptic to lock the versions to keep them from being
updated and run
sid. I even tried the experimental 2:2.6.1-1
<http://packages.debian.org/source/experimental/xserver-xorg-video-intel>
with no luck. From the deb package search page I notice there
is another
version waiting to be packaged.
http://packages.qa.debian.org/x/xserver-xorg-video-intel.html
I even started to try compiling it from souce but a newer
version of a
lib was missing from debian.
One big problem is with my setup the 3d performance is
terrible but
that machine is used for a server and audio video on my desk
and it
works fine for that.

So, what are you going to do? I take it you can't use a system that's
going to fail at any given time. There's not even a bug report filed,
and if one is filed, how long would it be to get a fix? It's been
almost two months. I can't tolerate this any more. I'm thinking of
the U-word.
