I'm encountering the same problems with my Dell Inspiron 1525 and Xubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) x86_64. Most any display change (blanking, add/removing external monitor) results in a non-fatal error:

Suspend/hibernate fails also. Closing the lid results in a freeze. The "encoder's hw state doesn't match sw tracking" seems to be the problem.

I'm using Dell Inspiron 1525 for several years and it was used with Ubuntu since 10.04 or so. After upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04 my PC started to freeze completely (no response from anything, requires hard reboot) if I'm closing the lid or display turning off due to inactivity timeout. I also had this problem after wake from suspend, but recently got kernel update and looks like it was fixed (no freezes after wake up). I tried fresh install of 14.04 that I'm using right now, but it doesn't help.
