Hi,

I've backported the patch from
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187 to the latest Lucid
kernel. I'm using the fixed kernel modules since a week and all
stability issues disappeared on my system. There are only two problems
with the patch :

1. The "wandering dots" in the Plymouth boot-screen have false colors.

2. Some Gtk+-functions are slower than normal. But the situation is not
as bad as it sounds. I can perfectly do my normal work (Browsing,
emailing, etc.) and also play SDL- and OpenGL-based games without
noticing any slowdowns. Only when running the "gtkperf"-Benchmark you
can notice a slowdown (Mostly in the "Circles"-Benchmark).
