Tried to evaluate patch... found my system more unstable after installing (Ubuntu) recommended patches
- font colours changing fairly quickly to something unreable making browsing/text editor-log viewing/window titles unreadable
- logging out/switching users goes to a black screen that flickers, like it's cycling through trying to change the video or it's trying to start the driver and keeps failing.
- Didn't get to fully test GL apps (once I saw things going down hill I backed out)
Was (and now back to) running .34 kernel+X-Updates (Intel 2.11) and it was running OK (when doing nothing GL related)... stable 2D and video largely OK (not entirely smooth but pretty good)
Note: the 2.12/libdrm installed was enough to cause me the grief above... I didn't notice it until I had the 855GM patch installed, but it still persisted after I uninstalled the 855GM patch.
