 When using UXA acceleration on intel graphics hardware (the default) the
 user interface freezes/crashes under certain circumstances. There are two
 I've found:

 1) In mythgallery, selecting a photo to view in fullscreen shows a black
 screen. Exiting from this shows the mythgallery screen, but any further UI
 interaction results in a segfault.

 2) mythtv-setup freezes/segfaults when entering particular menus. I think
 this is the same as this bug reported elsewhere:

 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31939

 Both of these problems go away when I enable SNA following this how-to:

 http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-enable-intel-sna-acceleration-
 in.html

 I'm running a stock ubuntu 12.10 using the 0.26 ppa on an Intel core
 i3-530. Please let me know if you would like more information or if I
 should report this problem elsewhere.

 This problem arose immediately after upgrading to 0.26 some months ago.
