I can verify that for me the issue was the deprecated i810 driver. I had upgraded from Feisty (where my laptop didn't suffer this problem) to Gutsy, but because I had manually changed xorg.conf a long while back (for an unrelated issue), Xorg continued to use the i810 driver.
Running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to automatically update my xorg.conf (as suggested in the file itself) straightened out my xorg setup and my computer hasn't exhibited the freezing behaviour since. -- when I close laptop lid, xorg takes 100% and never recovers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/98668 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
