Hi all,

I have the same identical problem as Trigger (and Matt, see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/653238).

Same DELL Precision T3500

there is a new A08 BIOS dated 9/17/10 available from Dell, which I'll
install as soon as I am done posting.

http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?fileid=416864

however... found this too in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16228

the above also have list of patches, but I'll have to recall how to
apply patches and compile the kernel, last time I've done it was years
ago RHEL 5 or  6, so spoiled now by Ubuntu

found this yet in another thread:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/647043/comments/14

which has a link to a patched test kernel, with the same list of
patches:
