Paul, Thanks, I had removed the HTML content. Yes. this is Debian 6 Squeeze. Did I need to upgrade X window version too through Debian backports?

For example `xserver-xorg-video-intel` version 2.15.0-3 is available there [3]. Otherwise your only option is Debian Wheezy which is due to be released this year as far as I know.
