Comment 19 for bug 23445

1. This bug has been around for some months. Has never been fixed.
2. The newest kernel stable kernel as of this writing: 2.6.17.6 has correct thermal support but no working sound. Upon boot dmesg says snd: unknown layout 0x53.

I am not running Ubuntu at all but i'm having these issues for months and no fix had ever been applied to my knowledge. On the Ubuntu forums, YellowDog forums, Fedora and Gentoo forums all people have the same problems. I posted in different bugs on launcpad but some of them were deleted? After months it's still not fixed how long will this take? Or will this post sit here for months again with a single fix?
