The haswell Intel drivers on Wheezy (stable) resulted in screen flickering.
The only option I could think of was to upgrade to Sid, which offers more
compatibility through a more recent version of xserver-xorg-video-intel.  After
updating to Sid, the game became unusable; on boot, it produced this error:

Unrecognized deviceID 0xa16
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for
operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  156 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  91
  Current serial number in output stream:  92

I just want to play neverputt.
