Interesting thing happened, I just dist-upgraded my machine and it
pulled in a new kernel which made my X unusable. I asked someone on
irc about it and s/he suggested that I add the following options to
xorg.conf

	 Option "AccelMethod" "exa"
	 Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
	 Option "ExaNoComposite" "true"

That did not help with my X so I changed back to my old kernel
(2.6.25-2) and with those options in my xorg.conf and switching to the
intel driver instead of i810 I no longer see those boxes around
equations in the wiki but I am still missing a few lines in that long
list.

Cheers

Oli
