I don't seem to have the problems as el_smurfo mentioned with my Dell D400.
I've been spoiled as this is the first real issue I've had to deal with
since I got the machine a few years back.

I applied the patch to my system and it is stable and usable for me. I
don't have desktop effects and cannot use the new Unity environment (screen
flickers when I hover over the launcher icons on the left side) but I am not
dead-in-the-water either.

I outlined what I did in the following thread, post #78

Frustrating? Hell Yes! End of the world? Hell No.
