I'm going to try my darndest to stay in Ubuntu all day today. While I admit that this is going to me a tentative statement in all capacities, I'm giddy enought to want to shout from the rooftops (tentatively, I remind you) that the bug is (so far) fixed in xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.7.1. FIXED, I swear. I use UXA on this laptop (in order to have windows that have 3D in them move around like they should without flickering) and I haven't received even a slowdown yet. I'm also receiving some of the best speeds I've ever gotten on this laptop in glxgears and glblur. I sure to hope 2.7.1 can somehow get in the updates repo, or at least have the fixes backported.
