This is eaxctly the same problem that I am facing with a Q965 Express
Chipset.
How can I help:
By default their is not xorg.conf file, but if I create one and
set the Driver to versa, then the problem disappears !
I am using gnome, with KDE, xmgrace just aborts

How, I do experience similar problem with Perl/Tk, the entry text
widgets does not work, but if I run the same application by usin
KDE, then it works. However, this problem is not solved by switching
from intel to versa driver.

Regards.
