Comment 9 for bug 874784

Apparently it affects the 'xserver-xorg-video-ati' package (Ubuntu X-Swat had it at one point.. Wonder why they stopped updating it) .. You're right, they're discussing it here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/755791 so those who have ATI's should probably poke and prod them to apply the patches. I suppose if someone really wanted, they could follow the instructions here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rebuilding-ubuntu-debian-linux-binary-package/ for generic package rebuilding, after the source patching? Knowing me if I was in the situation I'd do it and test myself. Rebuilding it from a new package this way you can roll it back if something were to happen and not work.
