"no, you are wrong. i used the standard open source driver in jaunty
from the repo, i also didnt compile anything. i didnt even install them
because it booted with that driver after i changed the graphics card
from a broken nvidia to ati in jaunty."

What you're saying doesn't add up.  In the bug description you said "the
upgrade breaks proprietary graphics drivers" and here you say you use
only open source drivers.  Both things cannot be true.

I never said *you* compiled anything, what I said was the version of
your kernel does not match what it is supposed to be.  Look in your
Xorg.0.log:

   Current Operating System: Linux dust 2.6.28-16-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP
Tue Oct 20 19:48:24 UTC 2009 i686

Karmic ships 2.6.31.  So you are not even using the Karmic kernel.  The
compile date on that is pretty recent, so if you didn't rebuild it,
something or somebody did, and it would be no surprise that it would no
longer work with the proprietary drivers.  I don't know where you got
that kernel, but it is not an X issue.

Regarding the flickering on boot, that is a known issue between gdm and
upstart, bug #441638.

"so can i spread out your word that graphics problems are not going to
be fixed?"

If you wish to make yourself look foolish, that is your own business.
