Same problem and Lukas' fix works for me. My notebook is a Uniwill 259EN3 (same as Alienware Area-51 m5500). I'm glad that the severity is deemed critical.
I might add that setting SWcursor to on in the xorg.conf allows the X server to start, but the display is corrupted. See: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=154774
