Great news (except for me)

Glad to hear that this has been fixed.
However, it almost certainly won't work on my hardware (Thinkpad X100e/Radeon HD3200 M) without patching:

(If you don't want to follow the links: I get nothing but snow and error messages from Google Earth or glxgears after the commit mentioned in the bug report. I bisected it nearly a month ago, but no-one has tested.)
I haven't tested yet, but this commit did not touch the hack that broke stuff on my hardware...and none of the code that changed looks like it should make a difference.
