What the heck, I'll jump in here.
I'm glad I'm not the only one having an issue with the intel_extreme
driver. I have a Dell Latitude D620 laptop, (GMA950) that the
intel_extreme driver fails on.
What's worse, is that the VESA driver does -not- set the refresh rate
properly. I get -horrid- flicker.
I can provide a syslog if that'll help...
