Apologies - but I can not see where else to post the feedback,

I downloaded and burned the Ubuntu liveCD referenced here: http://glasen-hardt.de/?p=568 which I believe has this patch. I then booted my Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo 7400M (w/1.25 GB RAM) and an Intel i855 GM graphics with that "unofficial" Ubuntu community liveCD that has the patch, and it booted and worked with Intel driver (I played for 2 hours with xrandr (driving external display), wireless, and special desktop efects). openSUSE-11.1 w/2.6.27 kernel was last successful Linux w/this laptop. Neither openSUSE-11.3 Milestone7 nor the released Fedora-13 work with the Intel driver on this laptop. I am in favour of this patch being sent upstream.
