Thank you Brian for all the help.

I tried linux-image-2.6.35-ppa20+v9patch-generic and the cursor was invisible.
I tried linux-image-2.6.35-ppa20+v9+cursorfix-generic and almost everything was working fine: KMS, 3D, XV...
glxgears even reported 308 fps instead of 260 fps that it showed with the 2.6.34rc3-51-generic kernel.

An annoying glitch with linux-image-2.6.35-ppa20+v9+cursorfix-generic
though: every exactly 10 seconds, a process named kslowd000 caused a CPU
spike, which resulted in the computer "hanging" for half a second -
mouse not moving, screen not updating etc.

So the best solution for me was to clone my hard disk to transfer the old 2.6.34rc3-51-generic to the other laptop.
I hope that the CPU glitch above can be fixed so that I can use the newer kernel with its significant performance improvement.

Btw, why aren't those kernels mentioned in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes ?
It's the only way to make those laptops work properly in Lucid...

Thanks again!
