I reported the same problem with a ThinkPad T42 (not T42p) at approximately the same time:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=457533 Since then (and after doing Debian updates), sometimes I get a desktop notification of the AC->battery transition rather than a suspend. Usually I get a suspend. Also since then, I've been seeing a perhaps related problem that the screen won't unblank, or will unblank briefly (1 second or less) before blanking again. This occurs when I have left the laptop unattended for several hours, and greets me every morning. I have to spend 5+ minutes experimenting with the lid latch, AC cable, etc. to try to get it to unblank. The most disturbing part is that the screen will still be off even after a forced power off and temporarily removing the AC and battery to give a clean cold boot. Could gnome-power-manager or underlying userspace or kernel code be corrupting some value that persists in the laptop's NVRAM? (The other option I see is that I have a hardware failure (e.g., loose display cable) that just happened to occur at the same time as the other power management problems, or that was somehow triggered by that problem.) _______________________________________________ pkg-gnome-maintainers mailing list pkg-gnome-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-gnome-maintainers
