Hi, I'm the original reporter of the launchapd bug

$ glxinfo |grep nGL
OpenGL vendor string: DRI R300 Project
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 20060815 x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL
OpenGL version string: 1.4 Mesa 7.5
OpenGL extensions:

So i guess i have to use mesa 7.6 ?

I'm not sure how to install mesa 7.6 on karmic ? is it from ppa or ...?
also , where does the setting the Kernel parameter need to be done? xorg.conf?
