Hi,

changing hardware usually is the simplest answer to driver problems that
aren't solved trivially :-) But sometimes you don't have that choice. I'm
stuck with a notebook with i855GM chipset that just doesn't work anymore
since 6.9 (SuSE 10.1). It works fine under 6.8.

I've tried to recompile X but haven't been successful yet (see other post by
me from 2006-04-26).
