Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I have an intel Atom motherboard with a 945 graphics chip

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

the max texture size is 2048 and I have a Samsung 2048x1152 monitor. Works just fine with compiz in Jaunty but in Karmic I get a black (or sometimes corrupted) screen except for the column of the first pixel 1x1152. The mouse cursor looks fine over all the screen and I can see in the first pixel that the panels and so on are there. It is as if there is a big black overlay sitting on top of the other 2047x1152 pixels. The first test Compiz does is compare the screen resolution to see if it less than or equal to the max texture size. Mine is equal, and should work. I can do alt+F2 and type metacity --replace to get back to a 2d window manager.
