Comment 26 for bug 745608

Hmm, This problem seems to depend on the actual Intel chip:

eeepc 900: sometimes the broken fonts and other anomalies occur, restarting X seems to make them go away.
Chip set: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 04)

asus mother board 1: always broken fonts, switching to different fonts or sizes can make the screen readable again.
Chip set: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

asus mother board2: no problems do far.
Chip set: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 10)

All 3 systems running same Natty Kubuntu, 915GM and 82G33 in i386, 82945G in amd64.
