It's a tablet that uses mostly Intel hardware, a Broadcom wired ethernet (it works), and a Texas Instruments card reader, for what it's worth. When I come back to it after I've closed the lid (Under Power Management Preferences I have it set to "When laptop lid is closed: Blank screen", the default), the poor thing becomes possessed: * The cursor jumps around insanely when I move the mouse. * Everything becomes painfully sluggish and unusable. * Sometimes windows I'm working with go dark and unresponsive (Compiz effect, though I have this same issue if I turn off desktop effects, so it's probably not Compiz related) * top shows that Xorg is hogging up between 40% and 70% of CPU cycles. * I can't get a Ctrl-Alt-F1-F6 consoles to come up (They flash onscreen for a split second and then the screen goes black, sometimes with a white arrow cursor frozen on it somewhere...). * When I do a Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to reset the X server, I notice the characters "^@" start appearing across the screen. * A Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't fix the problem. * Sometimes the X server resets itself with no outside influence (behaves like I'd hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) * Sometimes/eventually the laptop becomes completely unresponsive. I only recently figured out that the problem seemed to happen after I closed the lid and opened it back up. I'm going to try switching my "When laptop lid is closed:" option to "Do nothing" to see if that helps me avoid this crippling and seemingly random (before I figured out that it might be related to the lid closing) possession.
