In my (short) experience, a non-patched kernel works well. But you
definitely have to batch the BIOS and enable static switching.

#1: to prevent your touchpad and keyboard from going south in X, either use
the i8042.xxxx parameters on the kernel command-line or (it's better) switch
to a more recent kernel like 2.6.37-rc3 on which the i8042 problems are
