Hello,
It never really went away. That is, even with the latest (as of about one
month ago) version in unstable it was still present.
I was unable to get any help or pointers on the xorg mailing list so I
eventually gave up and bought a cheap Nvidia card. This machine is my MythTV
box and Myth has a couple of extra features on Nvidia cards (such as sync on
v-blank for TV-out).
The savage driver, at least on this particular chipset, also had a few other
issues including some corruption/artifacts with Xvideo playback and
instability with GL, so the upgrade was worth it.
