This issue has been floating around, in Ubuntu, for too long. Why wasn't it escalated?

When my upgrade from 8.04LTS to 10.04.1LTS failed so miserably (Wireless problems and locking GPU problem) I moved myself to Puppy Linux. The Puppy distro does not lock up on me when I use graphics and video.

Version 5.1 of Puppy Linux is based on the Ubuntu Lucid binaries (called Lupu). I am having difficulty understanding why Ubuntu Lucid is failing so miserably. What do PuppyLinux's drivers have that Lucid does not? I get a freeze, on average, every 15 minutes, every single day that I try to use Ubuntu Lucid, nowadays.

Maybe someone should contact Barry Kauler (of Puppy Linux) and ask some questions so that this issue GOES AWAY FAST.

Is this a Kernel version issue? What's going on?
