I upgraded my laptop (Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook C4355) to 5.3 this week, and had the same problem. My card started working when i disabled ACPI. I don't have a sufficiently pointy hat to tell you _why_ this happened... It shouldn't be like that, separate parts of the system, mumble grumble, but in the spirit of empirical observation: It Worked For Me. YMMV, disclaimer, small print, etc. > I think rl is the one I need. I think you're right.
