Right, the issue is sort of the inverse; when X (or the kernel) gets
updated, all the drivers and dependent bits and pieces have to be
rebuilt against the new stack, and sometimes various things need updated
to adjust to new APIs. We don't support bumblebee (yet) and thus don't
tend to any rebuilds or fixes that it might require.

The bumblebee folks probably tested against 11.10 to make sure their
stuff built against and worked with the kernel and X in those versions.
And they'll probably need to do so again for 12.04.
