1.
Yes. I tested on ÂYoga 260.
2.
Also in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110941Â;
One user confirmed it.
3.
One user in Debian forum
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=127415

I hope more users will confirm soon as this was reported on many distro
forums also.

I sent this for review and make available for more users to test.

OK. I will submit a new revision.
