Hi everyone

I'm a bit stuck with a bug I'd like to get fixed. I've reported the bug to ubuntu:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/696957

Essentially, if you're on ubuntu 10.10, have an intel graphics card, turn off text antialiasing, and attempt to draw large text - your x server dies. Which is fun. You browse the internet, hit a webpage with large text (in firefox, doesn't seem to affect chrome) then X gets killed and you're back at the gdm login screen.

Any idea who I should poke to fix the issue? I've even attached a patch which fixes the bug. All that needs doing is a code review.

Liam
