Hi Christopher,

Thanks for taking the time to look at this. I've updated the BIOS as requested.

$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
A11
08/03/2012

However I still see the display resolution switches after this (On Saucy). I note that I still receive the dmesg warnings

[ 16.074915] [drm] Wrong MCH_SSKPD value: 0x16040307
[ 16.074917] [drm] This can cause pipe underruns and display issues.
[ 16.074918] [drm] Please upgrade your BIOS to fix this.

I can re-run the apport-collect if that's helpful?

I'll try with the dev release live CD later today and report back.
