Sorry, I misspoke. Natty is the first release to contain the fix, not Maverick (Natty is on the .38 kernel; Maverick is on .35).
So Lucid will not work OOTB (out-of-the-box). You need to disable KMS as indicated at [1]. Maverick ships with a workaround, so it works OOTB. Natty contains both the workaround and the upstream fix, so it works OOTB. You can disable the workaround by enabling the -intel driver as indicated at [2]; it will work normally because it also ships with the upstream fix in the kernel. Christiansen is just mentioning that since Oneiric contains the fix too, it should not also ship with the workaround. I've opened Bug 817814 to track this and will give a heads up to some of the devs. Those with i8xx chipsets on Oneiric can help by adding a comment to that bug whether or not Oneiric works using the -intel driver on i8xx chipsets. (Play a movie file in Totem or VLC and see if it freezes; also run it for a couple days and see if it freezes.)
