[Bug 293200] Re: (COMPIZ ???) Laptop with 8.10 crashes randomly CAPS lock flashes...

[J Wood]

Yep -- it's specifically an issue with the 4965, and can be a problem
for the 3945.  That's in the "Other Known Issues" at
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810.

Here is what's working for me:

I removed every backport, but I didn't purge them.  Then I commented out
all by the 2.6.27-7-generic kernel in my /boot/grub/menu.lst.

That kernel, at least in my case, doesn't have any hard locks.  I know
the backports module is supposed to take care of the hard locks, but it
also kills my wireless; with the backports installed, no networks show
up in NetworkManager, and when I try to modprobe it, it spits an error.
So the fix introduces another problem -- wireless can't lock up your
machine if it doesn't work, can it.  Sort of like burning the village to
save it.
