Dell E4310 with BIOS version A05 failed with kernel
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.37-natty/. Boots into
black screen. When I got it to boot into a non-black screen, the
touchpad issue was not resolved anyway.
Separately I've been experiencing screen flickers, suspend/resume
failures etc with the E4310 on 2.6.35-24-generic but found kernel
2.6.37-999.201101190911 resolves these.
For those who want to get their E4310 working reasonably well under
10.10, I found this resolves all four problems (screen flicker,
suspend/resume, touchpad vertical scrolling, internal microphone):
# kernel upgrade for suspend/resume + screen flicker:
mkdir ~/kernel-upgrade; cd ~/kernel-upgrade; wget
