Critical/highly severe bug in Gutsy, noone seems to notice

[Thomas Novin]

Hi all

I'm a bit worried about a problem that seems to exist in the VESA driver
that ships with Gutsy. I was about to file a bug on launchpad but found
there were already several similar issues. 4 of them with status
New/Undecided and one with Confirmed/High but none of them are assigned
to a specific person/group.

To describe the problem quickly; If you have a ATI X???? graphics card
which seems to be popular on laptops, Xorg won't start thus making a
normal install impossible.

Launchpad URLs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/122663
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/131799
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/119465
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/103945
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-driver-vesa/+bug/126008

Is this the right forum to attempt to get some attention? It is approx.
one month left to the Gutsy beta so I recon that something needs to be
done pretty quickly.

Rgds,
