Public bug reported:
I've got an old IBM laptop (it's an unusual one; i1300 or something like
that I think; 500 MHz CPU). Ever since I installed Gutsy I think (or
maybe Feisty, can't remember), up to now with the current Hardy, display
power-saving mode has been a problem. When display power-saving mode
starts, it is impossible to exit power-saving mode. The keyboard appears
locked up (caps lock key does nothing) and moving the mouse doesn't exit
power saving mode. However, it is still possible to SSH into the
computer over the network. I think killing the X server and gdm revives
it (if I remember correctly).
The X server is running the Silicon Motion driver.
