• Have to swap to text console and back several times to avoid flickery screen

Affected by black screen of intel driver http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17292 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/221119 -- solved by installing with "install system" rather than "try it out", then doing an apt-get update after logging in via ssh.

Graphics glitches in Itrepid might be solved with Option "AccelMethod" "XAA": http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1007451
