Bad news: First, I have tried Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) beta. The problem described above still appears, no change.
Second; custom DSDT patch removed since kernel version 2.6.30.
So we won't be able to replace original buggy DSDT with a fixed one - so easily than until now.

I think, that this will affect a very large number of laptop users, as buggy DSDT is quite widespread.
I suppose, many of them won't fix this issue, because the solution - compiling a custom kernel - is not trivial,
especially for beginners.
While using proprietary Windows drivers (and operating systems) none of the problems stated above appear.
I think, there are three choices for me:
1.) Compiling a custom kernel with DSDT patch (how to?); and if I do so, I won't be allowed to post bug reports...
2.) Buying a new laptop... because of a new operating system version? I feel like before Windows Vista...
3.) Using Windows operating system.
If I won't choose any option from this list, my laptop (using karmic) will operate at higher temperatures than if I would use Windows,
and my LCD-TFT will flicker and the console will be unreadable after resuming from suspend/sleep.
