Hi Stefan,

Just wanted to check in with you again regarding this bug.  It's great
that you've been able to work around the problem by using the newer
kernel.  Talking with Jesse Barnes (Intel upstream), a number of fixes
went in to the kernel for this generation of hardware subsequent to what
was pulled for Ubuntu's kernel in natty, so it sounds like we're just
missing a key patch or two.  [@Kernel team - might want to pick jbarnes'
brain for patches worth pulling.]

I think the next logical step would be to do a git bisect search on the
kernel to identify what the fix was.  The kernel team may have some
better suggestions, but if you want to go forward with the bisection
search, they've documented the procedure pretty well here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection.

Since it appears this is pinpointed to the kernel rather than X, I'm
going to go ahead and close out the X task at this time.  I'll try to
set the kernel tasks tags and such to hopefully get it on that team's
radar, but you may want to ping them if you don't hear from them within
a few weeks.
