Hey Garry, As I said above it turned out the problem wasn't with Ubuntu Satanic Edition but with the Power Management in Ubuntu. "Blank Screen" on "When laptop is closed" is definitely the cause of this (although it may only apply to the intel driver as I haven't tried it with vesa). I'd like to

Hey All, I believe I've solved the problem and that it would be useful to share my solution in case anyone else encounters the same problem (and to also help Andrew Oakley track the errors down for Hardy). I selected "Do Nothing" for "When laptop lid is closed" under Power Management and since th

Hey, I use an Acer TravelMate 4151LMi (Notebook) and I have recently been having some issues with Gutsy - namely being automagically logged out and presented with the GDM sometimes when the notebook lid is closed. The other is a bizarre black screen state in which the monitor simply turns off and
