The discouraging sentence in that thread is:
">Thomas said that the unichrome part of Mesa is unmaintained. :( "
This bug causes computers with the UnichromePro graphics chip to randomly freeze if Ubuntu Dapper Drake is installed.
Why? Because Dapper Drake is set (by default) to randomly choose a screen saver and several of the screen savers freeze the computer solid. You must power down. Several times I have had corrupted disk space because of this bug.
Nobody is working on this?? It has been six months since this bug was reported.
Could I pay someone to fix this???

I am an end-user not a developer. If I knew how to fix this I would certainly help.
