Bug#725781: xserver-xorg-video-intel: Failed to submit batch buffer, expect rendering corruption

[Ben Armstrong <synrg@sanctuary.nslug.ns.ca>]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.21.15-1+b2
Followup-For: Bug #725781

Correction, we *can* use SNA. My method for configuring was:

X -configure

(Interestingly, in my case this is not without errors, but it generates
a usable config for my purposes; I'll check the error later/file a new
bug if needed.)

Then extract the intel driver section as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/intel.conf
and edit to enable SNA:

Section "Device"
        Option     "AccelMethod" "SNA"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "intel"
        BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

I tried my steps (reported earlier) to reproduce the bug and now can no
longer reproduce the issue with SNA. So it's looking good so far ...
