Bug#451571: EXA causes bad rendering on 965G
I have just upgraded to the latest intel driver in unstable and my screen
went completely funny. Basically many display facilities no longer
worked, with either large black blobs or white blobs replacing what should
be there. For instance KDM's login screen became a white, rounded
rectangle bordered by a wide black border. The debian logo in it was
moved to the bottom left of the screen, expanded and became only black and
white.
All text from scaleable fonts became either black or white blobs.
I understand the default for this driver has changed from xaa 2D
acceleration to exa acceleration. By adding OptionAccel xaa into
xorg.conf it works again.
NOTE - my xorg.conf was created by running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg,
and of course doesn't (now) produce a useable result.
