I hope your suspicions are wrong because flash videos pretty much cripples Firefox in this release. You are absolutely right about OpenGL acceleration being flaky, even playing a DVD movie is somewhat difficult at this time. Honestly, Jaunty has the potential to be the best release to date if it was not for the video acceleration issues and Evolution's extremely buggy behavior. I would guess that Evolution will receive fixes upstream.

What are the chances of seeing updates for xserver-xorg and xserver-xorg video drivers for the Jaunty release?

I ask that question because this release has a very good boot time, professional appearance, good memory use and up to date applications. The level of quality is exceptional with the exception of Evolution, which hopefully will get some attention upstream. In business, they say to be genuinely successful the key is to meet or exceed the customer's expectations. This release is so close to doing just that. I did not intend to go off topic but my thoughts are that Jaunty has the potential to achieve Cannonical's goal of being self supporting and profitable. It would be a real missed opportunity if the few remaining issues were not addressed.
