[ltp] Closing lid while in X?

[linux-thinkpad@www.bm-soft.com]

Well, I cannot tell if this PCMCIA card story only has an influence if you
try to suspend when closing the lid. But why don't you just try do an
"cardctl eject" before closing the lid and see if this resolves the
problem?

Sorry, I was in a bit of a hurry when I posted my question, and I wasn't
specific enough.

I have a 770X, running RH6.1, stock X server that comes with this
distribution. I do not suspend when I close the lid, in fact, I've never
looked at how to get suspend working at all :) Anyhow, I do have a
PCMCIA card in the machine, AC power connected, and I close the lid.
When I reopen it, I get this psychedelic mix of colors, and the machine
is locked up.

Does this make more sense?
