Intel 945G - temporary scrambled screen starting KDE

[anshuljain]

Try changing the Acceleration Type in Sax2 (AccelMethod) to XAA. It *should* solve the problem. The issue is that the Intel Graphics Driver version being shipped by Opensuse 11.1 uses EXA (which is newer) instead of XAA (older and thus more stable).

That XAA thing worked for me with intel 865G. however, running Opensuse 11.1 until this change(since initial release) was a real pain. Switching to tabs in firefox or scrolling in okular was really slow. I think that people who decide how to assemble a desktop have no ideea how much it hurts, otherwise they would have fix it a long time ago.
Thanks for the tip, anshuljain.
