Bug#457996: Acknowledgement (xserver-xorg-video-intel: fonts and icons illegible; console fonts missing)

["Brenda J. Butler" <bjb@linuxbutler.ca>]

A bit more info:  the problem occured with both stock kernels:

    2.6.22-2-686
    2.6.18-4-686


Tried dpkg-reconfiguring the following, with no effect:

    xserver-xorg
    xfonts-base
    defoma


Tried modprobe the following, with no effect;

    fbcon
    console


Tried dpkg-reconfiguring the following:

    fontconfig

    Interestingly, the first boot after fontconfig was reconfigured
    (to 2.6.22-2-686) had a clear font.  But, I needed to to try an
    unrelated USB thing (for pilot-xfer) so rebooted to 2.6.18-4-686
    immediately and the problem re-appeared.  Then tried rebooting to
    2.6.22-2-686 to see if the fonts were still legible, and they
    weren't.
