The problem has only been partially fixed by released updates, as I said in my previous post the bug has been fixed for the vendor string "Dell Inc." but not for "Dell Computer Corporation". This is exactly the same bug, it's just older Dells with the same bug have a different vendor ID for some reason. The latest kernell (2.6.27-11.27) does not fix the issue on my Inspiron 1100.
