Well, there was a set of discrete Xv fixes which went in after 2.9.0 was
cut but before the massive refactoring work for removing UMS hit.  It
comprised 17 patches total, which I've unified into the patch attached
here.

This is mostly confined to the i8xx code, but there are some changes to
the 9xx video code, which alter the algorithmic logic, so I can't say
with 100% certainty that the changes are going to be regression-free for
9xx, which makes me reticent to pull this in for Lucid.  There is also a
lot of refactoring going on, which probably accounts for most of the
size of the patch, and unfortunately also makes it tough to review in
detail.

But...  Since this backport was pretty straightforward, I've gone ahead and packaged and set up a PPA of this here:

If 8xx users can test this and say that it gives a perfect fix to Xv
support (i.e. no secondary issues), AND we can get some 9xx users to
verify it causes no regressions, then we can look at including this in
Lucid.  Otherwise, 8xx users can use this ppa or
