Bug#523953: xserver-xorg-video-intel: Trying kernel 2.6.29 + UXA

[Matthias Breier <debian@coolinblue.de>]

Currently everything works rather well with xserver-xorg-video-intel (2.7.1-1) 
and linux-image-2.6.29-2-amd64 (2.6.29-5). Videos are finally playable as 
before in mplayer and xine. 

The only drawback I currently experience is a problem with programs using 
OpenGL interfaces like blender, in which the buttons are hoovering in a 
fashion which renders the interface unusable. Luckily I'm not using it right 
now. The problem is dealt with upstream (according to 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/353763 
) so that I'm sure it will be resolved in a future release.

And sometimes after long periods without any problems, the display fonts seem 
to get distorted in a way which makes them unreadable. But I'm not completely 
sure, if this is really related to the Intel driver. It's not reproducable and 
disappears after a reboot.

I don't have the time to test the experimental packages at the moment, but I 
will look into it as soon as possible.
