i tried to apply the patches you told in the previous post but it gave me some error with them so i modified the file ec.cc adding and removing the necessary lines and compiled with Kernelcheck, that it gave me an error during the installation because it couldn't configure the nvidia module, but i resolved reinstalling the compiled kernel manually, now i'm testin if the patch is working, and i must tell that the system is more stable and until now no errors reported in kernel.log, i'll test for another 3 days than i'll report if it's working or not.

i noticed that the lines in the patch are different from the line in the original file (ec.cc) (considering the ones that are present in both infact the number of the lines differ), i think taht it's 'cause of this that patching gave me these errors, so please fix the patch some someone else noob like me wouldn't spend days trying to patch their kernel.

i'm also surprised that this patch wasn't applied directly to the current kernel of maverick and after because is a very serious and annoying problem, infact:
1-it didn't recognize my battery (always at 95%)
2- the hardware temperature was also a mess (cpu: -1 °C) so more possibility to damage your hw
3-the system hungs a lot (also the mouse if you press ctrl or shift)
4-impossibility to see hd video, the system can take the load to encode it (now is playing them great)
5-then the system at some point doesn't respond at any commend and you must unplug it from battery and ac/dc
so i hope that you will apply definitely this patch.
