Switching back to console and then back to X solves the problem.

Workaround is possible by setting DOUBLE_CONSOLE_SWITCH=true in /etc/default/acpi-support.

Please fix the bug or include this workaround by default on this model. For non experienced users, it seems that the notebook has crashed.

Revision history for this message

Also affects the thinkpad X61s.

The DOUBLE_CONSOLE_SWITCH=true workaround has stopped working after upgrading to Hardy approx. alpha 4.
