This bug does not appear in the list of ~80 current bugs for Dapper on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+bugs (or the next page). But I believe this is a current Dapper bug, and so anyone wanting to know the status of Dapper should see it. Strangely, when I type 47775 in the search field on that page, I get the page for this bug, i.e., the search doesn't limit itself to the list of ~80 current Dapper bugs. My guess is that this bug should still be listed on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+bugs, and hopefully quite high (just below bug #1) on the list so that the upstream patch gets incorporated into Dapper. If I understand correctly, this is the only other "confirmed critical" bug on Dapper.

Thanks.

PS: I have been bitten by this bug on a Thinkpad A31p with ATI FireGL 7800 (which is similar to a Radeon 7500 mobility). I'm currently using gentoo (with much maintenance fatigue) and this bug is the only barrier to my switching to Dapper.
