I think I may be seeing this (or something very similar). Tux racer crashes out when you go from the flat graphics to the 3d stuff. The glx gears app appears to work fine. Some haskell code I've got that binds against the opengl libs renders garbage into the opengl frame. Other opengl apps crash kde, or bomb out, or are otherwise badly behaved.

I've got an HP Compaq 2710p with an Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) and have tried both leaving xorg.conf as per default, and also adding a device for the graphics card with the intel driver (+ listing glx, GLcore and v4l modules).

Things seemed to be better behaved under hardy. Stuff seemed to break when I upgraded to Intrepid.
