Andy, I tested the kernel located at
http://people.canonical.com/~apw/lp561802-natty/ on my Dell Latitude
E6510, 2GB, 64bit, Intel graphics. My distribution is Ubuntu 10.10.

First: Your version seems to be working fine. No issues whatsoever up to
now.  I'm booting and using it with an external second monitor attached
via the display port (resolution: 1600x1200).  I will add another report
here in some minutes regarding a boot without a second monitor.

I also tested all other kernel versions discussed here which were coming
as a .deb package ready for download (i. e. I did not test all patch
versions).  Before the kernel pointed to by you I was using a .35
kernel.  With 2.6.38-997.201102020913 and 2.6.38-997.201102081238 I had
stability issues after some minutes (without a second monitor after some
hours): X just crashed and I had to relogin.  I was under the impression
that it had trouble handling X sessions with a lot of stuff going on,
maybe memory leaks.

No such issues with the
2.6.38-4-generic_2.6.38-4.31~lp561802v201102162013 now.  I tried to
crash it by opening about a hundred windows, using fancy Compiz
extensively, running flash applications, Youtube videos, 3D applications
etc. but to no avail :)  Uptime now is 44 minutes and everything seems
to be just fine.

Also suspend/resume worked without issues.  I did not test hibernate (to
disk).

I will check booting without a second monitor now, just to make sure,
and report back here.

Alfe
