[Bug 278318] Re: video tearing with textured video on intel card

[Tabletcorry]

While the patch provided
(http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/Testing/intel/) does prevent the
tearing problem, it also causes a new problem.

About 10% of the time that I open a movie in mplayer, the screen will
entirely switch to one (random) color and flash between that color and
black on an irregular basis.

Oddly, the programs running are still responsive (i.e. 'q' still quits,
and 'space' still pauses mplayer), but there is no way to use the
computer at this point. Switching to a virtual console (ctrl-alt-F1)
simply causes the screen to black out. Ctrl-alt-backspace has no effect.

The only way to recover is to reboot the system.
