Hi,

I've backported the patch from http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187 to the latest Lucid kernel. I'm using the fixed kernel modules since a week and all stability issues disappeared on my system. There are only two problems with the patch :

1. The "wandering dots" in the Plymouth boot-screen have false colors.

2. Some Gtk+-functions are slower than normal. But the situation is not as bad as it sounds. I can perfectly do my normal work (Browsing, emailing, etc.) and also play SDL- and OpenGL-based games without noticing any slowdowns. Only when running the "gtkperf"-Benchmark you can notice a slowdown (Mostly in the "Circles"-Benchmark).
