X restarts after suspend

[Jeremy Foote]

Generally, my Inspiron 1525 laptop wakes up fine after suspend, but sometimes it looks like it's going to resume, but then it appears to restart X, and all of my programs have been closed.

I'm happy to attach log files - I just don't know which ones would be helpful.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Balazs Vamos (bvamos)]

This occurs almost every day on my Lenovo T60.

[Michael Zhou (dominator008)]

Occurs every single suspend on Ubuntu 11.10 on Thinkpad T400. No clue how to fix that.

[Jeremy Foote (jdfoote1)]

I'm still having this problem on 12.04. It happens much more often when my laptop is not plugged in, or when the battery is very low.

This is obviously a very high priority for those of us with this problem. A workaround or a patch or at least a description of the problem would be incredibly helpful.

Thank you!!

Oh - and I have a variation of what appears to be the same problem. Sometimes after suspend the screen partially comes back - the mouse cursor is working and visible, but the login screen never appears. The screen just stays black.
