I don't think that's gonna happen given the apparently relatively small
number of people affected overall. Remember that the severity
definitions don't apply to a single system but the whole picture.
Also, first of all it has to be established that this is an X server bug
in the first place, see below.

Have you verified in the X server log that disabling the DRI actually
worked? If yes, does Option "NoAccel" work around the problem? If yes,
can you try isolating an acceleration primitive via the "XaaNo..."
options?
Also, some people have reported iBook lockups on the debian-powerpc
mailing list that seem to be related to CPU frequency scaling. Are you
using that?
PS: The bug submitter doesn't see your followups unless you send them to
-submitter@ .
