[ubuntu-uk] Suspend on lid close - Thinkpad x121e

[James Morrissey]

Kris:

Someone must have worked it out because there is one of these machines
available with Ubuntu 10.10(?) pre-installed.

Yes, i think i remember reading that pre-installed machines have slightly different set-ups.

Sounds like something to do with the graphics, what card does your
machine have in it?

VGA compatible controller
2nd Generation core Processor Family
Intel Corporation integrated graphics controller

Simon:

Yes, I'm hoping 11.10 will support it better: the two problems I have
are what appears to be a spontaneous sleep which it won't recover from
and occasional freezing of the mouse for a couple of seconds, which
appears in the logs and is apparently a long standing bug with some
synaptics touchpads.

Have you looked here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1843957
Someone seems to be saying that an update of the driver .so file solved some problems that they had.
