Thank you for verifying that the problem is still present in Lucid. I
have tried to reproduce it on my wife's computer (which has 945GM)
with a LiveCD, but that particular model apparently doesn't have this
problem.

When you upgrade, the old kernels are not uninstalled. That is why you
had several kernels to choose from. 2.6.32-9 should be the standard
Lucid kernel. I think the hint is called a tooltip. It's okay to use
64-bit. I have that on my laptop as well (on the test/daily-use
partition which used to have Karmic and now has Lucid, I have a 32-bit
Jaunty one for work that I set up and customised and don't want to
change).
