Comment 26 for bug 429351

Shouldn't this be posted as a different bug? 10.10 seems to be working
for me with my N120, which the original bug was about.

Shouldn't you make a new one for the n210?

Because this one seems solved.

I think it would be better for everyone if you made a new one,
generically for samsung laptops (instead of just the n120) and for
Maverick and Lucid instead of Jaunty and Karmic.
