Comment 255 for bug 1268257

Can someone please, please apply the fix that worked for 346 and 340 to 331 also? Or at the very least explain why this might not be as trivial as it sounds? As I pointed out in lp:1431753, 331 is still the most recent driver supported by the current LTS release. This is a bug that affects thousands of users, not all of whom will be willing/skilled to upgrade their kernels (and then upgrade them again and again every time short-term support runs out). This bug has impacted us badly, and I'm on the verge of stopping to recommend people to use Ubuntu LTS in professional settings, as I feel Canonical is betraying its LTS users big time here. And I'm not the only one losing my patience; see for instance comment #249...
