We may end up just blacklisting all people using a laptop with the 'ati' driver since other bugs I read after this one show that people are still having problems.

I certainly hope not. Limiting the use of Ubuntu to fix various problems is hopefully not the way forward. I mean what about next time a problem of this size occurs, do we then blacklist our way out again. Hopefully the problem will be analysed and fixed before the official release of Hardy :-)

I think a lot of us first experienced the problem in Oct. 07 just before the official release of Gutsy, when both Compiz and the 'ati' driver was updated. It should be possible to go back and see the few changes to better isolate the current problem. I can easily reproduce the problem especially with Compiz enabled and I'd be happy to do help with any tracing or bug catching is necessary :-)
