All I can say, is that in a MBP, with mactel patches, this problem does not ocur. I guess you should try a vanilla, then a vanilla + mactel patches to assert if the problem is specific to the ubuntu kernel or vanilla. And also to check if that problem is solved with any mactel patches. Best regards, -- Miguel Sousa Filipe ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
