Bug#601889: xserver-xorg-video-intel: i830 does not work with kms and 2.12.0+shadow-2



Hi,

> Version: 2:2.12.0+shadow-2
> Severity: important

please use reportbug next time, we're lacking plenty of stuff. See:
  http://pkg-xorg.alioth.debian.org/howto/report-bugs.html

Anyway, old card, bad support from upstream, so we kind of know the
song. :(

Unfortunately, that bring-back-UMS experiment didn't work out as well
as expected, so we went back to KMS only for squeeze. If that doesn't
work fine for you, you could still use fbdev or vesa, as documented in
the FAQ:
