My laptop has i830 video (same driver). "X -configure" did a nice
job, which was not true before 4.3.0, but if I switch to another
virtual terminal or quit X, the display goes nuts.

One of the more memorable values of "nuts" was when the entire
display turned a faint white, darker at the edges, and then brightened
over the course of several seconds to the point where, scared of
impending damage, I pressed the big red switch.

Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy that X is now working to some
degree on my laptop, but I could be happier. :-)
