Comment 17 for bug 1049630

Hi Guys,
       do not know if you are aware but this issue affects a lot of netbooks built by the same company Gateway,Acer,Packard Bell.

Its been plaguing me for over 2 years, like most people I disabled KMS to get it working in the interim or just did not use compiz.

Problem is now Ubuntu is launching 11.4 next week ....with as you are aware Unity. Unity and any desktop affects will no no longer work because of this bug,
as will all compix desktop effects!!

We are about to get a "lot" of bad Ubuntu user experience with Unity next week.

Is this going to be another argument for Wayland and justifies MS's controversial move?

Can I assist in any way ? Lets prove him wrong.

I have pulled in the latest main git repo and compiled the latest driver.

Its an holiday in the UK I can dedicate a few days of my time to this if it helps?

I can compile and add patches at your disposal.
