I only get the message "Fatal server error: Couldn't bind memory for BO front buffer" when trying to use XAA in a i865G, but not with EXA nor with UXA.

Using Intel 2.7 RC1, Kernel 2.6.29 RC7, and the Xserver + Mesa from the repository I don't get so many corruptions on screen, but still some, especially with wine, virtualbox and flash videos. Using composition those corruptions go away, but scrolling text e.g. with Firefox is slower.

Also UXA is more stable, it doesn't crash any more with opengl apps like glxgears, but it is not possible to distinguish the gears, it is like blur.

With my little experience, I think that we should try intel 2.6.3.
