Comment 18 for bug 705949

I'm glad to finally find some references to my exact problem, but it looks like they've died out. Anyway, yes, it's a real problem. Everything worked fine for six months then release 2.6.35-27 killed it for me. (Unless I keep an external monitor around to plug into.)

Sad really. This is the longest I've been able to stick with Linux, but after 2 weeks of banging my head against the wall it looks like it's back to Windows.
