Screen corruption (mainly in Terminator) intel 945/natty

[James Westby]

Binary package hint: xorg

Hi,

I'm seeing frequent corruption usually in, but not constrained to, Terminator.

I have

  00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

and am running natty, but you already know that thanks to the wonderful "display" symptom.

Thanks,

James

Yep, looks like a case of bug 717114 which you'll be happy to know is fixed in your next kernel update James. :-)

(Although at least one person says they still have the behavior, so possibly ymmv; reopen bug if it doesn't go away on the latest kernel.)
