FYI ... Quite a few issues in samsung-laptop were fixed in the version going into the 3.2 kernel:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux- stable.git;a=blob_plain;f=drivers/platform/x86/samsung-laptop.c;hb=HEAD Ubuntu 12.04 will be using the 3.2 kernel. Recently Corentin Chary volunteered to take over the maintenance of the samsung-laptop platform driver from Greg KH (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/22/544). Corentin made quite a few enhancements and provided a git repo with his changes: https://github.com/iksaif/samsung-laptop-dkms If you prefer patches, they were posted on https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/26/ (PATCH v2 10/16 was updated and reposted on 2011/11/28). I think the plan is to get Corentin's samsung-laptop changes into the 3.3 kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/810093 Title: The new (2.6.39+) samsung_laptop kernel module causes serious backlight flickering - makes the desktop unusable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/810093/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
