This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-lucid' to 'verification-done-lucid'.

If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

@gcc: any news on verifying if the bug is now solved with the -proposed kernel? If the change is not verified to be working, it'll be reverted by the end of this week.

Verified that 2.6.32-35 fixes the problem, thanks :)

How do I change tags? I can't see any option for that.

Just click the pen icon in the "Tags:" field right after the description. No problem, I'm setting the correct tag now.
