[i830] Closing lid freezes system on Thinkpad X30

Thank you for reporting this bug. Could you also include attach the following:
- /var/log/Xorg.0.log
- /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
- /etc/X11/xorg.conf
- output of `lspci -vvnn`

i test a modified xorg.conf

with parameters i found on a other forum
it seems to help against the graphic errors "grey buttons"
i don't know what the switches force to the driver.

It was posted as solution against "poor graphics"

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation 82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]"
Driver "i810"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Videoram 32768
EndSection

Please see if forcing pipe-a makes the lid close issue go away. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks for directions on what to do.

Seems Solved, running this setting now

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation 82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]"
Driver "i810"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "true"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Videoram 32768
EndSection

is that right? (i am not a kernel specialist)

That seems right. Most of your xorg.conf settings are not necessary, though, as they are autodetected or the default choice anyway. Your Xorg.0.log seems to be from Debian and not Ubuntu, though, and I don't know the details there. On Ubuntu,
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation 82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]"
Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "true"
EndSection
should be enough.

The information from your lspci.txt should be sufficient to fix this (but to be sure, you can upload Xorg.0.log Xorg.0.log.old and output of `lspci -vvnn` from after a crash on your Ubuntu system.

Hello@ALL

thanks for help

the xorg.conf was at first of debian lenny and later copied to Ubuntu too.

Cause i got bad graphics (grey Firefox or PCMAN-buttons at LXDE-Openbox use)
without the use of:
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Videoram 32768

could i be that the system shared ram is not allocated correctly by default?
at boot the allocation is shown like ~ 8081kb
(can't give you the exactly kb-value cause i have not the screenshot)
the pipe was helping againts freeze state with the
gnome-power-manager and Screensaver-Action-Lid-Close

now i am very happy..

Thanks, queued up patch for upload.
