Do you mean you upgraded to the latest versions in Wheezy/testing or Sid/unstable? Could you run `reportbug xserver-xorg-video-intel` and paste the system (and package) information section from the end of the created message please? > Turned the beast around to google about it with the correct name specs. > So I needed to close the lid.

Hopefully that will bring up a correct fix for this issue and not so knowledgeable users trying Debian will not hit this issue. Thanks, Paul [1] http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html
