I guess "Hurry up!" comments won't help.

If there are only a handful of people in the world suffering from this bug, I guess its priority will remain low, no matter how much we will complain (or cry... or break furniture...). I guess there must be some way to pay canonical for the support of the nvidia-96 driver, but this problem happened twice in a row, meaning it is quite probable the next version will have the same issue *again*: Won't our money better spent by buying a supported nvidia or ATI (or whatever) board?

Still, I would like some questions answered by the maintainers (or whatever people are handling this case) :

 - 1. Will the nvidia-96 issue be corrected for the current version
 - 2. Is there a way to upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 while still keeping the 10.10 X.Org/nvidia-96/whatever?
 - 3. Is the nvidia-96 driver considered obsolete, which would mean the middle/long term solution would be to upgrade our graphic card ? (suggestions are welcome)
 - 4. Is it possible to enhance the Ubuntu Upgrade process to tell the user about drivers obsolescence ? (being surprised by having one's system break down after the upgrade is NOT cool).

Thanks,
