Awesome.

Okay, now to get the packaging part... we need to make an exception for
your Thinkpad series.

Right now, the check used is.. if /sys/module/i915 is present, and
kernel version >= 2.6.26. We need to find a way to exclude all affected
users, before a patch for this can be rolled out to Intrepid.

I don't know how, though. Perhaps the original author of this particular
file would know?
