Hi Phil,
this is not a solution to this bug, but what about trying the nouveau
driver?
It's opensource from scratch and is included in Jaunty.
Too bad up to now 3D is not supported, but if you use 2D-only stuff like me,
I think you'll be quite happy.
I'm using it on a couple of PCs and so far I'm very happy, no issues found.
And it solved also some screen corruption issues I was having before with nv
and close driver.
If you want to give it a try:
