I feel your pain, Jerry :(

It looks like the patch fd.o is queued up to go into Linus's branch
shortly but hasn't made it yet [1].  I'd guess that without any hangups,
it will go into the 2.6.31 release.  Conveniently, that's also the
kernel version targeted for the final Karmic release as well [2].

If you're feeling adventurous and want to compile the kernel yourself,
check out [3].  You would want to use the git source and get the patch
in from there.

I was also able to find (while looking up that patch) a reference to it
in the #ubuntu-x IRC channel [4] (search for
07f4f3e8a24138ca2f3650723d670df25687cd05).  There's a lot of signal in
that log, so it would be a good one to be familiar with.

So I guess the short of it is to wait for the fix to make it in.  To get
a better idea of how the patch is being handled, you should ask on
#ubuntu-x.
