Comment 92 for bug 139045

Patches for laptops mentioned here were submitted upstream a long time ago and have trickled back down to Ubuntu - they _should_ be in Hardy. I didn't worry about the couple of cases had strange Product Names in their DMI table. I did try to look for a generic solution but ended up deciding the DMI check in the kernel was the best. No more new models were getting reported. So you can close this bug.
