Yes, a few months ago, but I had the same problem with slow bug-fixes for the
older chipsets like mine.  The drivers worked well about 90% of the time and
were unusable the other 10%.  I reverted to xorg 1.95 and all is good again :)

Is this the moment to upgrade your video card? They seem to be cheap enough, 
even here in UK.

A lot cheaper than upgrading my video card, too -- they only sell 
the video card I need when you buy the whole laptop!
