Nagging or wailing on a bug doesn't get it fixed. This bug hasn't not been fixed (urgh, green wiggly lines) because developers don't believe it's that important. This bug has not been fixed because the developers have no idea why this happens, and not enough information to find out. We don't even know where to begin to ask further questions. At this point, the most useful thing somebody with this bug can do is get their laptop in front of a developer. Then the bug can be demonstrated, and explicitly demonstrated as not occuring with Mandriva 2007. Also we'd really like to know whether this bug occurs with the pristine upstream kernel or not. We can then also try various kernel packages on the laptop, bisecting until we figure out exactly which line of code causes the behaviour to occur or go away. Perhaps somebody could get to UDS-MTV and bring their laptop?
