[Bug 352760] Intel 865G

[wilbur]

I have installed the fix as reported in:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582

to the latest kernel 2.6.30-rc2 and run the fixmtrr.sh script. UXA now will
launch but crashes when anything is opened so it is back to EXA which runs
most video very poorly. Scrolling is about to same, choppy. I used the
xorg.conf as shown and have also tried a number of other ideas but nothing
works. The Intel 865G driver still has serious issues.
