[Joseph Zitt <jzitt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

And, strangely, it's started again. It worked fine, even when I
upgraded to 12.04 (which I like a lot) but has now resumed the wrong
behavior. All was fine a couple of days ago, but isn't now.

I've seen some suggestions of fixes around the net, but they seem to
be for older releases and other Eee PC models.

I suspect it has to do with something that was recently upgraded, but
not sure at all how to check that.

Any pointers?
