With kernel 2.6.31.14 #47 the patches to the dell-laptop module have been committed and will probably fix the problem for many of you. I suggest you remove module dell-laptop-dkms for those of you who have installed it, and try upgrading to the new kernel.
Discussions about this are in bug 430809.
Fixes many dell laptops, including Dell Vostro 1720.
