Hey John,

Don't worry, I know how it is to be busy.

For the dmesg/kernel config is it fine if I send you the one from 3.7-rc4 or 
should I update to a more recent version?

I've also now seen this behaviour on another notebook with completely different 
hardware (Asus VX1). I can send you dmesg output from that one too if you 
want. Kernel config should be almost identical, but it's running 3.2.29 still.

Grs,
Heinz
