Yup. Same here. Seems a known timing bug in some Savage/MX/IX chipset (per 
Tim) seems the windows drivers have workarounds, but they are difficult to 
implement in linux.

We have 2 T20's with identical linux installs and only 1 exhibits the X 
lockup problem.

I've tired just not installing the sound drivers and several APM 
configurations (switching to vt1, etc) and I still hang 3 out of10 times 
when comming out of sleep.

What X driver does IBM use when shipping Linux on a T20? Do they have the 
problem?
