Excellent work Peter, Juan, and everyone else on LP #127101 that helped
debug and solve this, and push the fix upstream.  I think this is the
longest threaded X bug we've closed so far!  It was quite a team effort
to solve, and I think has made for an excellent model for how we can tag
team other difficult-to-solve -intel driver issues.

The fix is now uploaded, as xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.1.1-0ubuntu9.
It still needs to be approved by the Release Managers, but should now be
included in Gutsy-final.
