Thank you very much Seth and Maxime.

If I may summarize easy steps to do this, for lay-people like me;
1. Download linux-image-xx and linux-headers-xx as per your architecture (I downloaded the patch files as well, but don't know if they were used during installation..)
2. run 'sudo dpkg -i linux-image-xx.deb' and then 'sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-xx' to install both
3. run 'sudo update-grub' and restart. The newly installed kernel is default (at least in LM11)

I'd like to report that the beta2 build of ubuntu 11.10 also has the same problem of wavy VGA output. It's sad, actually. Does that qualify as a separate bug since it has the linux-3.xx kernel?
