Thanks. Your userspace is issueing MI_WAIT_SCANLINES cmds to the gpu, which just doesn't work. Can you please upgrade xf86-video-intel to the latest released version and check whether it works.
Generally userspace with that bug is extremely old (and if the other things are equally outdated) rather buggy for Sandybridge. I highly suggest updating the entire graphics stack to something modern (Sandybridge-wise).
Thanks for the quick response.
OK, I'll wait till after KS to do more on my wife's box. It is currently useable, and I hate to make it worse and leave her computer in a broken state ;)
It's running Fedora 14, and I rather avoid Gnome3 and systemd, which prevents me from moving her to Fedora 15. If F14 does not provide the necessary updates, I'll move her over to a Debian system.
Thanks!
