I'm going to hold off on dropping this patch until I have a better understanding of why it was added in the first place, since I would assume it was added because some people experience issues without it. Timo remarked that he had attempted to drop a number of patches including this one for the Feisty release, but ended up restoring them due to issues found. So I assume the issue this fixes is still present. However, perhaps if further research is done we can explore dropping it for Gutsy+1.
Also, it sounds as if xserver 1.4 is right around the corner, so it is also possible that contains a better fix. After that has been incorporated into Ubuntu it would be worthwhile to re-test this bug. -- [Fixed] Intel driver (using EXA) crashes system when starting compiz https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/126425 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
