The fix for this bug is still under review and was not ready in time for
2.6.39. It is planned for merging in the 2.6.40 time frame, and should
be suitable for a stable backport when merged to master.

Nice to know that .39 will have the feature to lock screen and all input devices
on exotic hardware like i915GM.
Well, .31 and Xorg 1.6.5 are still around and good enough for months of uptime.

The alternative is to try to include a patch which has seen limited
testing and insufficient review into code which is shipping in a matter
of days. Yes, leaving your machine broken isn't ideal, but the risk of
breaking many (many) other machines which currently work OK is not good
either.
We'll get the patch tested, reviewed and merged shortly, at which point
it will be included in a stable .39.x release, which Linux distributions
are generally happy to pick up.
