Public bug reported: Asus k52j laptop - when I close the lid, fan kicks into high gear and it gets really hot and stays that way until I force a shut down. When I open the lid, display is blank and machine is unresponsive. This happened with 11.04, too.
The following workaround has fixed the problem for me in both 11.04 and 11.10, but I thought it would have been fixed after one whole release cycle, and I see the problem is still here in 11.10 beta 2. It would be nice to see it work right out of the box. Here is the workaround that has worked for me with both releases: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1460790&highlight=multitouch+asus+k52j ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: xorg 1:7.6+7ubuntu7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-11.18-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-11-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,decor,place,session,compiztoolbox,vpswitch,mousepoll,move,snap,gnomecompat,resize,regex,imgpng,animation,grid,wall,workarounds,fade,expo,ezoom,unitymtgrabhandles,scale,unityshell] CompositorRunning: compiz Date: Sat Sep 24 08:42:12 2011 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: oneiric DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: fglrx, 8.881, 3.0.0-11-generic, x86_64: installed ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GpuHangFrequency: Continuously GpuHangReproducibility: Yes, I can easily reproduce it GpuHangStarted: Since before I upgraded GraphicsCard: ATI Technologies Inc Robson CE [AMD Radeon HD 6300 Series] [1002:68e4] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
