Thinkpad T60p blank screen on resume [Fiesty Fawn Beta]

I was not aware there were T60p's with AMD architecture. For the record, I have a t60p with a core duo (x86/32) and an ATI FireGL 5200 card, and I see the same thing. More specifically, as the machine is coming back up, I see what looks like a flash of virtual terminal, and the backlight comes on, but the screen is dark. I cannot switch to a virtual terminal and ctrl-alt-del doesn't restart the machine.

I am using fglrx (and LVM, for what that's worth).

The amd64 architecture is for AMD64 or EM64T (core 2 duo has EM64T) so it makes sense to use it. I also see what you describe--for a second I get a flashing cursor then it dies.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description doesn't yet have enough information.
Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command 'uname -a' in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command 'dmesg > dmesg.log' and attach the resulting file 'dmesg.log' to this bug report.
3. Please run the command 'sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log' and attach the resulting file 'lspci-vvnn.log' to this bug report.
For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies . Thanks in advance!

I resolved this issue by making the following changes as recommended on thinkwiki:

/etc/acpi/suspend.d/10-thinkpad-standby-led.sh
* Add to the bottom of the file: /etc/init.d/powernowd stop

/etc/acpi/resume.d/90-thinkpad-unstandby-led.sh
* Add to the bottom of the file: /etc/init.d/powernowd start

/etc/acpi-support
* Change POST_VIDEO=true to POST_VIDEO=false

I think the third change is the key for resolving this specific issue. I have not heard anything in over a month and the latest updates have not fixed the problem.

I can confirm that <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/104185/comments/8">James Walker's changes</a> fix the issue.

I didn't have the file /etc/acpi-support, instead I made the change in /etc/default/acpi-support.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Per a decision made by the Ubuntu Kernel Team, bugs will longer be assigned to the ubuntu-kernel-team in Launchpad as part of the bug triage process. The ubuntu-kernel-team is being unassigned from this bug report. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies for more information. Thanks.
