[Bug 342923] Re: [i945] (Needs UXA) Kubuntu Jaunty Intel 945 GM - Poor sluggish graphics performance in Kate text, etc.

[Swâmi Petaramesh]

Having it working properly for a few hours was probably still too much
:-(

A couple hours ago got released to the mirrors "xserver-xorg-video-
intel_2%3a2.7.99.1+git20090502.cfb98f3d-0ubuntu0sarvatt2_i386.deb" and
this one definitely breaks EXA : xorg does UXA even though EXA is
specifically requested in xorg.conf :-(

So even though I specify EXA, now I get UXA back with all its bugs and
crappy performance :-(

OK, I have reverted back to "xserver-xorg-video-
intel_2%3a2.7.99.1+git20090427.e55d9431-0ubuntu0sarvatt_i386.deb" and
EXA is repaired.

Now I "aptitude hold xserver-xorg-video-intel" for being sure to stick
to it, and to be completely sure, I removed the PPA repositories from
sources.list.

More than tired with this. I'll stick to my current working solution
until 9.10 Karmic or when an update comes out stating that the issue is
definitely and reliably fixed.

People who'd like to keep using EXA better make sure to stay away from
xserver-xorg-video-intel_2%3a2.7.99.1+git20090502.cfb98f3d-
0ubuntu0sarvatt2_i386.deb ...
