Description:

Version 2.4 of the intel X driver has a texture corruption bug that becomes visible in at least factor. See http://factor-language.blogspot.com/2009/01/bug-in-intel-video-driver-version-24.html
A later upstream version is reported to fix this.

Currently, the latest release version of the driver is 2.6.0: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/2008Q4.html
It depends on a newer libdrm version (>= 2.4.2) that we have (2.3.x).
This task depends upon

I experience this bug when scrolling in firefox and such -- not a huge deal, but a nuisance.
