Hi,

I am running:

eve[~]% uname -a
Linux eve 2.6.29-020629rc6-generic #020629rc6 SMP Mon Feb 23 12:53:58
UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

And everything is now working as expected.

So it seems:
 2.6.27 (via linux-ports) works but does not have audio modules
 2.6.28 (9.04 kernel) does not work (glyph corruption, eventual machine hang)
 2.6.29-rc6 (and later, presumably) will work

What is the process from here? As 2.6.28 will be the shipping kernel
anyone upgrading with i845 / i855 hardware is going to experience an
issue.

Cheers,
Anand
