Comment 45 for bug 162136

If we could identify a single change that makes this work, we could apply it to the official Hardy version, to the benefit of all users having this issue. I guess for every bug report there are dozens or hundreds of users having the same problem, but not being active enough to do something about it, like even signing up for a launchpad account to say "me too"... Therefore we are very grateful for (and depending on) competent users like you that identify these issues and help getting them fixed.

But in the end it's a question of priorities, for you and for us. Personally I wouldn't spend so much time on a problem that has been fixed already upstream. For instance, if we would have something like 6.8.1 soon, we could maybe push it to hardy-backports. According to the Ubuntu release policy it would be too risky to just upgrade Hardy to the git version right now, we don't want any regressions surprising us - a handful of known bugs is better than a handful of new ones.
