stijn, as per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-
netbooks/thinkpad-s-series-laptops/thinkpad-s540 an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.65). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New.
Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  tint2 taskbar boots irregularly with xserver-xorg-video-ati, boots
  fine with proprietary driver

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I run a little taskbar app called tint2. I boot it at startup, but
  about 50% of the time it isn't visible after booting. The other 50% it
  is. So I can reboot or logout/login until it sticks. At first I
  thought it was a bug in tint2, but now I have found that I don't get
  this issues when I run the AMD proprietary driver (fglrx). So I think
  it might be a problem in the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver. I have a
  Radeon HD 8600M series in a Lenovo S540.

  Additional note: when it does not display and I power off the
  computer, it is displayed for a brief moment before the computer shuts
  down. That makes me think that it is actually a display problem, not a
  problem of tint2 not booting at all.

  If this is unlikely to be caused by the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver,
  I apologize for reporting it here. If you need additional information,
  please let me know, I will be happy to provide.

  Required info:
  1) Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
  2) xserver-xorg-video-ati Installed: 1:7.3.0-1ubuntu3.1
