Not, it's reported upstream yet, because it's very hard to know what's
going wrong exactely here, so the bug report would be mostly useless.
And upstream developers are still working hard on this driver, so it may
improve anyway. Could you try the latest upstream git snaphost? We've
been said it is more stable. There's a how-to at

Add a "stable" or "etch" line to your /etc/apt/sources.list, apt-get
update, apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-i810=2:1.7.2-4
