Finally, Dell have posted an update to the BIOS that seems to cure the
problem completely. ¡About time, too!

I have downloaded and installed BIOS version 1.1.4, and have succeeded
in installing Ubuntu Edgy (which previously came up with the mouse AND
keyboard already frozen).

I have used it for a few hours, downloaded and installed all the updates
to the base installation as well as the extra packages I wanted,
etcetera, and have had no USB lockups so far.

Oh, and both processors are working, too!

By the way, OpenSuse 10.2 worked OK in my installation (although it only
used one processor). Too bad I did not really like it ...

Dell's attitude throughout this problem has been unforgivable, but it's
not that we got any collaboration from Ubuntu/Canonical, either ... Both
get VERY low grades.
