Comment 28 for bug 465318

Let me add to my comments #25 and #26 above: this bug kills all my lecturing and makes me contemplate asking my wife to give the MacBrook Pro back to me, and to quit my one-year foray into Ubuntu as a MacOSX replacement. I don't know whether the blankout of the second monitor (using the nomodeset fix in kernel loading) when video playing and similar freezes on my own screen when video playing in IDL have to do with this bug but together they kill the functionality of my Toshiba R600 in my work even with the nomodeset fix. So I hope that this bug gets some attention.
