OK - that makes some sense to me. In that case, could this bug be mentioned in the release notes with instructions on switching to i810 for those who experience an intolerable number of crashes? I believe OpenSUSE had such a note in their 10.3 release notes and shipped both drivers with -intel as default, as Ubuntu will be doing.

Also, is it possible to alter the gdm/kdm configuration to not reset the X-server on logout? This would make the issue occur far less in general use (it would be basically relegated to those who suspend-to-RAM often at that point). For me, the driver works fine unless the X-server is reset, at which point I get the crashes one out of every few times.

Sorry if I sounded harsh at times regarding shipping with this bug - I'm just afraid of users installing Gutsy and having a heavily crash-prone system...
