My dell studio 1555 always has some issue or the other with kernel. 2.6.31 which came with ubuntu 9.10 did not allow me to change brightness .. ACPI bug. Now that it was fixed in 2.6.32 i was happy with lucid alpha's , but later i came to know that when i was resuming my computer from sleep, it was having ACPI thermal was having an issue, so it shows 0 temperatures, hence fan doesnt start, so the computer runs very hot for some time and then dies. Very very bad. Now yes the fix is in 2.6.33 , but hey ubuntu sticks to 2.6.32 and i dont think there is a plan to backport .. well this is the problem with open source development, it is good, but it leads to lot of bugs and noone responsble for anything. ACPI bugs are not acceptable with laptops in play. So the solution !!! Back to windows !!! yay
Or rather i will try the daily kernels and upgrade my kernel.
