Comment 110 for bug 541511

Bug reporters, it would be nice to have some confirmation that the workaround works as intended. The expected behaviour is that with 2:2.9.1-3ubuntu3, the freezes will stop and the performance (at least 3D and video) will be horrible.

While there is a fix in the works upstream for 855GM it looks like it is intended for the drm-intel-next series of kernels, which I think means that it will end up in the 2.6.35 kernel. It should probably also be possible to apply it to 2.6.34, but I'm not sure about 2.6.33 which is effectively what we have in Lucid when it comes to these drivers.
