[Bug 300693] Re: Thinkpad T61p hardlock flashing caps lock

[Gary]

fwiw, I'm a CentOS, T61p user and have the same issue. I've done some
yum updates within the past month, changed some video settings, tried
updating the video drivers and probably some other things where now if I
switch from wireless at home to wired\wireless at work, I get the caps
lock blinking and freeze. I often go in and out of suspend.

I don't have any /var/log/kern.log* files
I have a dlink wireless n network at home using WPA2. 
/var/log/messages has nothing logged at the time of these events. I don't see anything in dmesg, but I don't understand it too well either. I wish I knew how to better log these lock ups.

Best of luck to my fellow linux\thinkpad users!
