I tested yours again, broken. Turns out its just not drawing some
widgets / text glyphs. I can actually use / type things if I "feel" my
way around. xrandr --output LVDS --off shuts monitor off, lid switch
poking turns it back on and text etc.. draws. (But doesn't keep
drawing).
Built the package myself, it now works fine. I saw it needed to install
some mesa source to build.. is there any chance your pbuilder
environment found some newer mesa to build against?
PS.. I wonder if some build env issue was responsible for the
"impossible" >32bit on a 945GM addresses seen by the user who tested
your intel driver package. Looking at the code, it would seem that a
compiler bug / cosmic ray / lying chipset ID would be necessary to get
that result.
