Isn't this patch a bit naive? It would disable x2apic on my machine even in the scenario where the bug doesn't happen, like when I have nvidia disabled and only the intel graphics card enabled.
Also, is that simple string comparison seems brittle. Aren't there other submodels of these laptops that are affected? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/922037 Title: "reduce brightness" key freezes system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/922037/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
