I'm hitting the old buffer reclaim deadlock problem. Is there a compatible kernel patch for 2.6.34 or a version of the X driver that will fix the error? Is there a path to resolution that doesn't involve wholesale changes? The stuff I get from Google is quite confusing as to it's application.

drm/i810: cleanup reclaim_buffers
which is in v3.3 and later.
