Comment 47 for bug 347569

I've put in an SRU for this patch. Ideally, I would have liked to see more testers since I'm a bit iffy on this patch, but if I count correctly there have been 5 testers which I guess is close enough.

I've updated the patch to include the ubuntu3.2 change, although that one seems to be stuck in -proposed. In looking at it again, it's a trivially good patch, I think they're just waiting on some feedback from users who have run that version without problem, so you guys could probably help out by commenting on bug #256021 that you've run this version from ubuntu-proposed and give it your thumbs up. That would enable that fix to go in, which would enable this one to go through too.

Btw, for future reference, going forward I am no longer going to accept performance regression feedback that uses glxgears numbers. Everyone knows it's not any good as a benchmark, so reports that still use its numbers anyway are questionable whether the reporter actually knows what they're talking about. ;-) In this regard, it was good to see the reference made to Neverball, because otherwise the only factual data this bug report would have is on glxgears.
