Bug#420209: xserver-xorg-video-intel: blank screen, PP_STATUS andallocate pages warnings in X log

[Bart Vanhaute <bart_vanhaute_@hotmail.com>]

Hello,

Incidentally, I also tested this same driver, and I agree. However there
is some additional information in the upstream bug that could help the
Xorg developers... There is a suggestion about using i810switch, but I
could not make the described workaround to work for me. 

I also tried the -modesetting variant of the i810 driver, but that made
my lcd look very wrong: flickering parts, random noise, strange
colors...

Cheers,
Bart (still using 1.7.4-1).
