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

While the new/proposed driver does prevent the tearing problem, it also
causes another problem as I said before

About 10% of the time that I open a movie in mplayer, the screen will
entirely switch to one (random) color

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.

The whole screen also flickers before any video starts.

Should this be reportedas a new bug?
