Bug#457996: xserver-xorg-video-intel: fonts and icons illegible; console fonts missing
forcemerge 439210 457996
thank you
This is probably similar to bug #439210. I am merging these bugs.
You should first try adding
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
to the Device section of your xorg.conf.
There's also a patch in
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=12993 which should solve
the problem even without the above config line. It would be nice to test
it since I don't remember anybody else having this problem on an i865
board. If you need help to rebuild the driver with this patch, see
http://bgoglin.livejournal.com/10936.html and feel free to ask.
