I downloaded the 16 July 2011 build of 10.04.3, and apparently the repaired driver has not been backported to this release.

Two issues:

1. the screen comes up in 1600x1200 or something like that, so the bottom right of that screen image does not show on the 1024x768 panel, as before.

2. A login dialog shows up, in the lower right of the screen (center of 1600x1200 image), which means the system tried to start gdm, failed, and showed a login dialog. Trying to log in with 'ubuntu' and a blank password results in the same thing happening again after several seconds.

So this RC of 10.04.3 is unusable on this system.

I wasn't able to access any files generated during system startup.

This system has 11.04 installed, and works with the 11.10 alpha-2 live cd, also with the 2011-07-05 daily build of Kubuntu 11.10. BTW this 11.10 Kubuntu is the first Kubuntu I've tried on this laptop, since the earlier screen-size problem results in Kubuntu's panel being off-screen on the bottom.
