Bug#640799: This seems to affect all intel chips



Package: kde-window-manager
Version: 4:4.6.5-2
Followup-For: Bug #640799

As the link (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTM0NA), given by Martin Steigerwald  on the debian-kde mailing list (http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2011/08/msg00070.html), says this bug affects all Intel graphic cards. 

My laptop does not have sandybridge architecture and has been affected by this problem. I also have a desktop with Intel chipset at work that has been affected. Both machines are running Debian testing.

The fix given works fine on my laptop, however on the work desktop everything gets slow. I installed Debian on that desktop this week so I don't know if it is slow 'cause of this bug or some other factor. On the laptop kwin has worked fine for years now, so all I had to do was to set the environment variable and everything is back to normal.

This mail has been written from my laptop, here's the system info:
