It seems as though it is related to the ATI XOrg driver. When using the ATI driver my screen works well, but when I close the screen it logs out. I have been torubleshooting the problem and when I use the VESA driver it does not log me out, but i do have to hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 then Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get to the "locked computer" screen. This is somewhat better for me, as logging out stops programs, and at least this is just a pain.
Also I have noticed that sometimes if I close the lid and open it again it will say that another program has crashed and it will start another one. Then instead of using the Ubuntu login GDM, it uses a Gnome login screen. Could the Lid Close event be triggering a problem with GDM? I will try to make this happen again and write down the exact message. I would also be willing to give any information that would help solve this problem (dmesg / xorg.conf / etc). -- Edgy logs out (unwanted) on laptop lid close. https://launchpad.net/bugs/67466 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
