Richard,

"Why are you still using acpi_fakekey? Seriously guys, those acpi bodges are horrific."

I don't know if your comment was serious - I hope not because it is very silly. Anyway, actually we are not *using* (this is an active verb) acpi_fakekey, but Ubuntu is using it because its developers wrote the corresponding code which is obviously full of errors in this release.

"I don't think you can blame gnome-power-manager in this case - it's just doing what it's told."

That's like saying let's not blame Microsoft for the crappy Software, it's just doing what its shareholders tell it to release. I don't care what module causes this, but the P35 was one of the best selling notebooks, and obviously such an error should not be in an Ubuntu release!

Just my 2 cents ...
