Well, it might work fine on *your* hardware, but that does not imply it "works perfectly" in general. Believe it or not, the may still be (and in fact really *are*) many people observing hangs and crashes.

BTW, what do you mean by "latest kernel"? I can only patch against the mainline, due to Reiser4. If there was a patch agains the mainline 2.6.34.x kernel, I could easily test every single patch version with every single kernel release.

Neither have I, but it crashes anyway. Furthermore, compositting has become a standard feature. Obviously, switching all acceleration off is *not* a usable workaround. The legacy driver was *perfectly* stable and weeks of uptime with (accelerated) KDE 4, DVB-T and simple 3D games were not a problem.
