The discouraging sentence in that thread is:

This bug causes computers with the UnichromePro graphics chip to randomly freeze if Ubuntu Dapper Drake is installed.

Why? Because Dapper Drake is set (by default) to randomly choose a screen saver and several of the screen savers freeze the computer solid. You must power down. Several times I have had corrupted disk space because of this bug.

Nobody is working on this?? It has been six months since this bug was reported.

Could I pay someone to fix this???

I am an end-user not a developer. If I knew how to fix this I would certainly help.
