I installed the x86_64 deb packages from #185, and I can confirm that it
works... with some issues with VirtualBox.

I had VirtualBox installed, so it actually gave me errors.  I went to
the VirtualBox site and noticed that there was a 4.0.4 (I had 4.0.2)
update that was updated today, so I updated the 4.0.4 package (sudo apt-
get upgrade virtualbox-4.0).  But by doing so, it wanted me to install
an updated 2.6.38-4 kernel, which I accepted.  After it was done
upgrading, it rebooted to a blank screen (because it wasn't the
2.6.38-4.31~lp561802v201102162013 version).  So I rebooted to an old
version that I know works, then I installed the kernel listed in #185
(which during the process it said it was 'downgrading').  I rebooted and
everything works now (no blank screen and virtualbox 4.0.4 works).

I have not tested with external monitor or docking station.  I will try
to do that later.

I'm on KDE (Kubuntu), and when I change the brightness, it something
funny, like it will go down in brightness, then up a little.

Note: once I rebooted with the #185 version, apt-get wants me to upgrade
to the 2.6.38-4 kernel, which I know it won't work, so i'll just ignore
for now.
