[Bug 365776] Re: [i965] graphical glitches with Blender/OpenGL unless DRI disabled

[Kyle Beauchamp]

I disabled DRI to fix the problem.  I suspect that this is not an
acceptable long-term solution--for example, my display brightness
control is no longer working.

IMHO, pushing the 9.04 release before addressing these issues (broken
driver support for one of the most common laptop display adapters) was a
poor move.  As I recall, the two issues that were the downfall of
Windows Vista were 1.  Poor Driver Support.  2.  Poor Performance on
common hardware.

What do you know, it looks like Ubuntu is following Microsoft's lead on
this one...

My fix was to add the following line to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf under the devices section:
	Option "DRI" "off"
