I tried both things. The bios update and the i810 driver and nothing worked.


After the bios update the vesa driver seems a bit more stable, but still not
100%.

And with the i810 driver it doesnt work at all. When X starts the screen
starts to blink and does this forever (it didn't stop after 15 minutes, i
didn't wait longer). When i looked at the Xorg log it says that the i810
driver is not the correct one for this chipset and that i should use the
"intel" driver instead.
