[Bug 511747] Re: support for Acer 1420P

[Oliver Grawert]

it seems these patches are small enough to justify for an SRU, i'm
assigning it to the linux package (as the patches are against kernel
code and already applied upstream), lets see if teh kernel team accepts
them into maverick (and probably lucid)

** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu)
