What work would be needed if the offending patch was placed in an
alternative, as mentioned before, xorg mobile package? I imagine it will
not be easy, but I guess it will save alot of people hassle in the long
run. The main thing I am enjoying about gutsy is that I no longer need
to deal with long tutorials to install Compiz/Beryl. This issue, if it
is not 'fixed', will find a place stickied in the How To section of the
ubuntu forums. This maybe Nvidias issue, but I suspect the user base
will not care who's issue it is. Ubuntu has used plenty of workarounds
to cater to problems that sit in other peoples court.

wgscott:Ubuntu would work just as well if they had to develop for only
14 distinct hardware situations like apple.
