I'm not an expert at all, I've just done a bit of reading on various websites about these issues...

A couple of knowledgeable people have told me that the E6410 and the E6510 have slightly different hardware, and that seems to be true because patches which work for the E6410 don't work on my E6510 at all.

I'm a 32bit user, and I have little experience with 64bit so I really don't know if this makes a difference for this issue.

I also don't know about other notebooks with i5/i7 processors. I though DELL was the only manufacturer offering these as a default option but I might be wrong.

Mike, I'm glad you got Ubuntu up and running, and that you did not let these issues put you off. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Francisco, I saw that there is a new patch from henk here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29278 . I'm going to give it a try and I'll let you know if it worked in the E6510 bug.
