Every time I close the lid on my Thinkpad T43p and open it again X has crashed and gdm is waiting for me to log in.
I tracked it down to acpi calling /etc/acpi/ati-powermode.sh when the lid is shut which is then calling
Code: Select all
su $user -c "/opt/bin/aticonfig --set-powerstate=3 --effective=now"
When I run this command on the command line it kills X. As far as I know this is new behavior for ati-drivers 8.35.5. While this version does fix my Xinerama mouse offset problem (

Commenting out that line in ati-powermode.sh fixes it for now. If anyone has a better way to fix this, please let me know.
