I need to use kernel 2.6.36-020636rc8-generic to be able to control monitor
resolution. However launching
apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
gives me the source of the 2.6.35 kernel (!) which obviously does not link
with the 2.6.36-020636rc8 headers... I have however found a patched
psmose.ko for my kernel but with no apparent changes, a part the fact that
now if I plug an external USB mouse is not working very well. No touchpad
indication in the gnome panel.
