I've been running v9 patch with the same system as since 11-5-2010, 2.6.34-rc6, with userspace updated recently, and it has been very stable. No glitches, no crashes, no errors in dmesg. So it seems that something like the v9 patch should be pushed upstream, because it seems to work. It doesn't fix all bugs, but it makes things a lot more stable.

I can run video fine in full screen in VLC. My laptop isn't fast enough to play flash full screen in a smooth way, nor to do real 3D stuff.
