unggnu, I can also confirm your workaround. With intrepid, I had been using the outdated version 2.3.2 of the intel xorg drivers to get around this issue. However, now that I've upgraded to jaunty and am now using the latest jaunty version, I can confirm that your workaround works with the latest intel drivers.
