Thank you everybody for doing a great job in troubleshooting this bug. Especially to mistr for doing the git-bisect. The fixes have now been pushed to mesa_7_6_branch upstream and should end up in mesa 7.6.1 and newer. This means that it should automatically find its way into Lucid.

I think there is a chance that we can get the patches into Karmic as well. I'll have to look at the SRU procedures again (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates). The upstream patches are:
r200:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?h=mesa_7_6_branch&id=2b5618fc5bdcbee3434f8b5aa3a31eb06fb479c0
radeon:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?h=mesa_7_6_branch&id=8d8fd9776e23a34e0d22e489ce1f85eb5e383121

Otherwise, we can probably put updated packages in a PPA. Actually, it seems that Tormod Volden is already tracking mesa_7_6_branch in the x-updates PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates . The r200 fix should be there already, and the radeon fix will be there in the next build.
