Apparently a new version of the xserver has been released. Awkwardly enough, it still doesn't contain the fix posted in this thread. Figuring it's more than just me who needs a fixed package, I thought I might as well upload the .deb Package I just built from the latest Ubuntu-sources and the fix above.
It works for me, your mileage may vary... I wonder why they don't include the patch -- whoever "they" may be... at least for me a standby-incapable xserver renders my Dell C600 completely unusable... ** Attachment added: "Patched xorg-xserver-core .deb-Package (reflecting latest changes)" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5678027/xserver-xorg-dev_1.1.1-0ubuntu12.1_i386.deb -- Xorg exits when it receives an ACPI button/lid event https://launchpad.net/bugs/61746 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
