Comment 16 for bug 443120

I have recently bought an Asus K43U with AMD processor.

I found the same problem.

However while trying other distros (in a Unity avoidance strategy) I noticed the the version 3.x.x linux kernel that ships with Ubunto 11.10 does not have this problem but Mint 11 based on an earlier kernel does.

Tried with various other variants too. All the ones using < 3.x.x did not wake up properly, SO I am waiting for Mint11 to roll out the 3.x.x kernel in the hope that will fix it.
