I would test it.

But installing Hardy's X server seems to require a lot of packages to
be updated from Gutsy, and I'm not prepared to risk breaking my laptop
which I use for work for that.

If someone backports the -intel 2.2 server to a Gutsy-compatible
package, I'll be happy to re-test everything I tested before.

Btw, it's hard to see how the 2.2 server could properly fix the page
table corruption when it's not running.... although it's easy to see
how it could hide the symptom or repair the problem when the server is
running. The suspiciously corrupt page table occurs in console text
mode, too, although it has no visible effect.
