Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

This is on a Dell Latitide X1 laptop, and only occurs under the following circumstances:

1. xorg is started
2. The external monitor (a Dell 2001 FP) is plugged into the VGA port
3. 'xrandr' is called without arguments, and instantly the screen is garbled - mostly black, except for a few pixels at the top of the screen that appears relatively normal.

If step 2 is done before step 1, the screen stays normal.

The bug is a regression, as earlier (Jaunty and earlier) didn't display this behavior.
