To add further clarification:

- I experience the effects described in the initial report *any time* the lid is closed, with 100% reproducible results. Suspend, screen lock, etc. have no extra effect. Close the lid, X is completely locked up other than the mouse cursor.
- I only started experiencing these effects after upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04.
- I can switch to terminal mode (Ctrl Alt F1) and interact there.
- Switching back to X (Ctrl Alt F7) returns me to the locked-up screen. Mouse still moves, but no interaction is possible.
- If the setting for automatically locking the desktop when the screen turns off is enabled, I experience the black screen with mouse cursor result. If this setting is not enabled, I see a "frozen" version of whatever was last on screen.
