Comment 2 for bug 662946

I have the same issue with a Dell Inspiron 1150 (Intel 852/855 gfx) running ubuntu 10.10 on 35-22 kernel. I can't get the commit fbf81762e385d patch to apply, I always get hunk failed errors.

I tried the option "sudo -i && echo N >/sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/poll" but there is no parameters folder and creating the local.conf with the options caused ubuntu to give an error at boot saying option 'poll' not found.

Can anyone tell me what exactly I'm doing wrong? Using kernel rc5 fixes it for me but my wifi doesn't work so I need to get this patch working somehow under kernel 35-22.
