@Bryce: According to that page,
Required knowledge and tools
The rest of this page assumes that you know how to fetch a kernel from the Ubuntu git repository, and build it, and that you have basic git skills. If you can't do that yet, try starting with this wiki page.
So there's the fundamental stumbling block for most users. I can probably figure it out, given a bit of time, although I haven't had to go bug-hunting in the kernel since 0.9-something.
Also, I do not know of a working kernel version that I can use to narrow it down. This laptop has only ever run 11.04, so far... I have no idea what effect downgrading to 2.6.35-22 will have on this system.
And, of course, I really have no great galloping desire to burn a day or two doing kernel rebuilds. But someone has to, eventually, to get this fixed - might as well be me :-(
It would probably be easier to ship a cheap Arrandale laptop with DP-out to one of the X devs... *sigh*
