Comment 15 for bug 222324

I have had a look at the module and it appears to be pretty small and self contained and therefore it may be possible to be possible to back port it to Intrepid. If it is possible then we would need to get some test kernels built and those tested by those of you with the hardware to confirm that (1) it fixes the problem, and (2) there are no obvious regressions.

I have pulled the driver as it appears in mainline and applied it to the intrepid kernel. It seems to apply and build cleanly. I have built some test kernels with this modules enabled (based on the current -proposed kernel) and pushed them up to the URL below. If those of you with Panasonic laptops could test these kernels and report back, we can then consider whether this can be applied as an SRU to Intrepid.

Note that these are binary only kernels and will not work if you are using out of tree graphics drivers via DKMS.
