The patch I mentioned was merged back in 2006, for 2.6.19. Either that
patch was never complete and is missing support for your hardware, or
it broke since then. You should probably try an old kernel to see if it's
actually a regression.

Thanks for the details Arnd, I'll see if I can boot 2.6.19 on that laptop
and report back.

I would perhaps try something less ancient first, 2.6.27-longterm would be
a good candidate. If it was working at some point but broken later, chances
are that it wasn't broken until a few years ago, rather than shortly after
it was merged.
