I just read an interesting article on Phoronix and while looking at the contributors you can see that Ubuntu/Canonical isn't mentioned at all. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=x_server_contributors&num=1 (go to page 3,4) As one of the comments on Slashdot said; I think it would be good if every major distribution had at least one developer helping with X.org. Phoronix actually offers cash awards to people fixing X.org-bugs. That's the least Canonical could do, IMHO.
