Is this still reproducible with the latest software stack (linux 3.0 or
3.1, X 1.11, intel 2.16)?  If yes please file a bug upstream according
to http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html.  Include your X
and kernel logs as well as pictures of the corruption.  Once you've done
that please let us know the bug number for tracking.

Thanks,
