Bug Description

Today in intrepid I saw that the intel driver did took the place of the i810 driver.

However, now if I close and open my lid, or if I wait for gnome-power-manager to suspend my monitor, the whole system hard freeze. Keyboard and mouse don't respond anymore, the only way out is the power button.

I've got an IBM Thinkpad G40.
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)

I tried to search in the logs (Xorg.0.log.old, old messages, debug, dmesg... logs) for errors, but nothing shows there.

This seems to be a critical bug. Always reproducible for me. Very nasty.

Maybe your problem is similar to Bug #138256. The fix for this issue might be to force enabling Pipe A.

Add the line >>Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "true"<< to your xorg.conf under the device section.

  Section "Device"
    ...
    Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "true"
  EndSection
