Bug Description
I have installed ubuntu edgy eft (amd64) on my new Dell XPS M1210 notebook
(cpu: intel core 2 duo, graphic card: intel 945GM, software: latest updates as of today).
The problem is that if I close the lid the system hangs up (freezes) and the only
thing I can do is to reset (reboot) it. The same problem happens if I press one of the following function key combinations (FN keys):
FN+F8 (CRT/LCD)
FN+Arrow up (increase brightness)
FN+Arrow down (decrease brightness)
As the whole system freezes immediately there are no log entries or anything else and I have no clou what exactly (software or hardware) causes the problem.

I have noticed the exact same problem on my M1210, both with Ubuntu Edgy, and Gentoo, but it only affects the am64-architecture, if i run it in 32-bit arch then the problem is gone, so I'm guessing this is has to be fixed in kernel-level acpi drivers.
