Description:

Version 2.7.0-1 of the package has display corruption issues on (at least) the X4500 GPU. The issue is that the kernel side of things is missing functionality, and requires a patch http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/anholt/drm-intel.git;a=commit;h=f544847fbaf099278343f875987a983f2b913134 to set things right. This patch is posted on the freedesktop.org bugtracker.

I'm building a kernel right now and will report back to confirm this fixes the bug.

Hello again,

built 2.6.29.1-4 including the above patch. Tiling works again!

Bug persists in 2.6.29.2-1. Rebuilding this package with the aforementioned patch again fixes the issue.
