I am also running an upstream kernel which still has issues. I'll note
that something seems to have changed in Lucid, as prior to Lucid, the
button just handled the hardware, but now it seems to change settings in
gconf and such at the same time. I'm not sure that I understand why
that is; it seems sufficient to me to let the hardware just turn itself
on/off at will.
