For the first time since I've owned this notebook I'm able to have ubuntu installed thanks to that post. Every linux distro I've tried hasn't worked. I've been using linux for 8 years and it really bugged me to be forced to use windows instead of linux which I prefer. BSD distros did work fine by default. I can't understand why this bug has been ignored all of this time and this kernel problem hasn't been resolved.
I followed the directions in this post: https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ linux/+ bug/765438/ comments/ 65
