I've been through three revisions of hardware in the four (yes, four) years since this bug was reported. I can just mail one of the old systems to Ubuntu and let them reconfirm ad nauseam themselves. For what it's worth, any T61p/ATI laptop from eBay will probably do.
The bad news for Ubuntu is that I (as an informed user, C developer, open source and commercial developer, and generally very good debugger) now only report bugs when I'm feeling particularly bored, as I don't expect them to get fixed. It's a two-way street.
Yes, this is still an issue.
Adam, Christopher, Luke, Patrick and others, I find the following link very useful when tolerating upstream bug queues:
