Excellent thanks, that's exactly what we need (I think). I've forwarded the bug upstream to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23032 and cc'd you to the bug in case upstream has more info or needs you to test something.

It's really good to have you testing this stuff. Both i830 and i845 have historically had lots of misc. problems, due in part to upstream lacking hardware to test against. We've had people report about problems with both chips to Ubuntu, so we know they're important, but haven't had someone both persistent and technical enough to help close the gaps on the bugs that get encountered.

The good news is that recently a huge swath of the 9xx bugs have suddenly all gotten sorted out, so I have high hopes that if we're persistent about the 8xx bugs upstream, that they'll get attention and sorted out as well.
