Hi folks!
I am in exact the same situation after updating to the latest Ubuntu release 
10.04.

Before that with 9.04 and 9.10 the mentioned work arounds worked fine.

see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireTimeline/Fixes

Until now, I did not tried to change the BIOS.
(Can anyone be so kind and point me to an howto?, 
But I am not sure, if it is a good idea to make a change there to fix a ubuntu 
bug)

I have the Aspire 5810T.

Best Regards 

mt.
