FYI ...

Quite a few issues in samsung-laptop were fixed in the version going into the 3.2 kernel:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=blob_plain;f=drivers/platform/x86/samsung-laptop.c;hb=HEAD

Ubuntu 12.04 will be using the 3.2 kernel.

Recently Corentin Chary volunteered to take over the maintenance of the samsung-laptop platform driver from Greg KH (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/22/544). Corentin made quite a few enhancements and provided a git repo with his changes:

If you prefer patches, they were posted on https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/26/ (PATCH v2 10/16 was updated and reposted on 2011/11/28).

I think the plan is to get Corentin's samsung-laptop changes into the 3.3 kernel.
