Comment 58 for bug 1443456

@Patrik
I bought a AMD based laptop for my mother and the LTS version was unable to run on it, it kept crashing, had display errors, the mouse did not work and many other problems. So I had no choice then to install 14.10 at that time. When the support ended I upgraded to 15.04 recently and then this bug started to surface.

In general I would expect canonical to improve their policy for backporting bugs. Really, how useful is a release (with supposed support), when bugs are not fixed and fixes only make it into the development version that is still weeks out until a release.
