Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I've got a Thinkpad X40 with a “Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device” the driver from xserver-xorg-video-i810 worked for me all the time. Yesterday I discovered xserver-xorg-video-intel and installed it. When I rebooted my laptop today. Starting X resulted in very strange behavior. Most times it just froze with a black screen, once pressing any key resulted in strange letters being printed on the screen, sometimes it brought up a login screen, even though I use autologin, logging in resulted in a frozen black screen.

After changing i810 in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to vesa I was able to log in again. I uninstalled xserver-xorg-video-intel and reinstalled xserver-xorg-video-i810 and changed vesa back to i810. Now everything is working again.
