This happens with the i810 video driver, but the newer intel driver does not have this problem.  </p> <H4 id="head-b26796d178114bd3fdea5600480d8ab3137274d1">Install newer modesetting Intel video driver</H4>
<P>Unfortunately the newer driver is only available from 6.10 onwards (Edgy, Feisty etc), but not in 6.06.1 (Dapper). If you have Edgy or above then you can install the newer intel video driver with:- </p> <PRE>sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
