Thank you for researching this thoroughly.

It seems that the bug 278318 refers to the same upstream bug report, but that bug has been marked as fixed. Could you check this out and see how it compares with your case?

Last I heard 2.7.0 (or even 2.6.2) will probably not be included in Jaunty. The main reason is that the new driver version requires upgrade to a lot of other xorg components (libdrm, mesa, etc...) and it is probably not enough time for testing all that before the release of Jaunty.

If there were a patch that could be applied to fix this, it could be included in Jaunty. But as far as I understood from the upstream bug, it was more involved, so this may not be possible.
