Again, I originally posted under Bug # 1028723, and was asked to test the latest v3.5 kernel, although the link http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.6-rc1-quantal/ was to the latest v3.6 kernel. Since installing the mainline build, my issue has not returned. I am eager to report a

I would just like to confirm that the latest upstream kernel has fixed the flickering/screen brightness issues on my laptop. I replaced the needs-upstream-testing tag with kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed- upstream-/lib/modules/3.6.0-030600rc1-generic; but since my bug was considered a copy of

@Joseph, I downloaded and have been testing the kernel provided in the link http://people.canonical.com/~jsalisbury/lp1028151/. I would like to report that the brightness screen does not pop up, and there is no flickering. However, my screen (and system) still freeze. I am going to spend a
