[Linux-disciples] screen problem -- thinkpad x40

[Adam Rosi-Kessel]

If you open and close OpenOffice and/or Evolution, is it fixed?

Probably the best solution is going to be to switch to ACPI
suspend/resume rather than APM.  With kernel 2.6.9, I have ACPI
hibernate/resume working on the X40 without any modifications. This also
has the advantage of the system being complete "off" while hibernated--no
power is used at all.

(to invoke suspend/resume, at least for me, it's just echo -n disk >
/sys/power/state).
