karmic 2.6.31-2 and -3 lid closing blacks screen until reboot on thinkpad r52

Asked by Mike Jacobi

IBM Thinkpad R52 1859 karmic upgraded from jaunty and again to latest july 15 4am est (alpha 2?)

Regardless of the power management setting for what to do on lid close (tried Blank Screen and Do Nothing), the screen stays black on lid open. It seems to come on, but it stays black. I was able to reboot with Ctrl+Alt+F1 then ctrl+alt+delete. It doesn't seem like the OS froze, just the display is black. Fine again after a reboot.

If I switch to my old jaunty .29 kernel on boot, it doesn't happen.
Could it be an issue in "DeviceKit-power" or "udev-extras"?

Karmic is in alpha and is 3 months away from release so you will get bugs like this

Log a bug and it will hopefully get resolved by release date.If you are not adept at fixing your own issue then you should stick to the officially released versions (Jaunty being the most recent)

Can you help with this problem?
