I really hope this isn't premature. I think I found what the cause was. The kernel option acpi_osi="Linux" used to be the "fix" with my Ubuntu install. I migrated to Debian with a squeeze/sid installation and the "fix" stopped working. I was stumped. GRUB. With GRUB 2 you edit '/etc/default/grub' then run 'update-grub'. This is the line that _is_ working for me: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=\"Linux\"" Note the escape characters. Previously I wasn't escaping the quotations therefore the quotes in the kernel option were being stripped when they were then written to /boot/grub/grub.cfg . Just a bit frustrating.
