I agree, and it skews the bug report statistics.  :-(  But, all we can do is 
re-post it on freedesktop.org, and hope it gets attention (which has been done 
-- at least the posting part, and it had attention for a bit, and then activity 
ceased).  It's a shame, because I thought when I started seeing activity on the 
first bug-post on freedesktop.org, it would finally be resolved after a year 
and a half of having the difficulty and waiting -- but then it got confused 
with another bug, and marked 'fixed' when it wasn't.   Sometimes I'm tempted to 
just shout "Help, help!", but I know it's just more noise.  ..if *anyone* knows 
who to mail that:
1) can move this bug along, and
2) whom it wouldn't be rude to email about this, and
3) preferably actually *wants* to see this fixed, 
please let me know!

I don't know if the full gravity of the bug is realized.  In it's current form, 
in Natty, it means:
* No hardware accelleration
* Thus no compositing
* No Unity
* This is a regression.  The older driver (without KMS) worked.  The new one 
(with KMS) does not.

I'm thinking of just downgrading to Lucid.  ..but there are a lot of
packages in Lucid that are outdated for my needs, so that's a lot of
manual installation.  :-/  I've also been keeping Natty on my system so
I can help debug,  but it seems no-one's debugging it.  If someone is,
do you mind just posting a quick update?
