This probably isn't helpful, but as nothing seems to be done about this issue, and every new kernel keeps turning up with the same bug, I locked the kernel version in Synaptic so that no kernel versions after 2.6.24.19 were installed. Worked fine for me until recently, when I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04. The 9.04 version seems to work fine on the Aspire One as long as you do not switch the desktop mode into classic version.

I am starting to agree with a number of users and other large distro providers that Ubuntu's 1/2-yearly update schedule is way too quick, and they keep introducing new bugs that they never get around to fixing because they are already hard at work on the next version. One distribution upgrade a year is more than enough, new software can be introduced through repositories rather than in distro upgrades.
