We'd like to make sure 12.04 is flawless on our next-gen laptops. A
kernel patch is required to fix an offset desktop bug. The patch applies
cleanly on the current precise kernel. Please see:

This even hit some machines we at Canonical have in the past few days
and I was going to propose this as well. Note: It's specific to
machines with v2132 vbios versions, and will very likely be fixed in a
later vbios but it's pretty safe to say this vbios may ship in some
early panther point machines and causes screen corruption such as

good to have in time to make the livecd's kernel. The original commit

Got a reference to where this got applied. I find finding the current
owner of the various drm trees hard to determine, and frankly I am no
longer sure the MAINTAINERS entries are accurate since the kernel.org
issues.

System76 - Intel DRM patch
"It's complicated" unfortunately, drm-intel-fixes is maintained by
keithp at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~keithp/linux/ but he was
waiting until 3.4-rc1 to start the fixes branch. drm-intel-next is
maintained by danvet here
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel/. danvet has a temporary
drm-intel-fixes branch until keithp gets it set up with this commit
here http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel/commit/?h=drm-intel-fixes&id=f47166d2b0001fcb752b40c5a2d4db986dfbea68.
airlied's core drm branches are on freedesktop as well unlike what
MAINTAINERS says - http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux/

Applied to Precise. Patch was in drm-intel pending merge. I have
included the patch as applied below for completeness.
