@ Dana Goyette,
The flag is already set in Maverick, please test with that kernel. If this works to your convenience the bug will be back ported to Lucid.
Kernel: /edge.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ maverick/ armel/linux- image-2. 6.34-5- omap/2. 6.34-5. 12
https:/
To install:
ubuntu@ beagleboard: ~$ sudo dpkg -i linux-image- 2.6.34- 5-omap_ 2.6.34- 5.12_armel. deb
Once extracted keep in mind to update the uImage and uInitrd before rebooting.
