  [915GM] closing lid breaks X (jumping cursor, sluggish, high cpu usage

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  I recently updated to Gutsy on my HP Compaq TC4200.

  It's a tablet that uses mostly Intel hardware, a Broadcom wired
  ethernet (it works), and a Texas Instruments card reader, for what
  it's worth.

  When I come back to it after I've closed the lid (Under Power
  Management Preferences I have it set to "When laptop lid is closed:
  Blank screen", the default), the poor thing becomes possessed:

   * The cursor jumps around insanely when I move the mouse.
   * Everything becomes painfully sluggish and unusable.
   * Sometimes windows I'm working with go dark and unresponsive (Compiz effect, though I have this same issue if I turn off desktop effects, so it's probably not Compiz related)
   * top shows that Xorg is hogging up between 40% and 70% of CPU cycles.
   * I can't get a Ctrl-Alt-F1-F6 consoles to come up (They flash onscreen for a split second and then the screen goes black, sometimes with a white arrow cursor frozen on it somewhere...).
   * When I do a Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to reset the X server, I notice the characters "^@" start appearing across the screen.
   * A Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't fix the problem.
   * Sometimes the X server resets itself with no outside influence (behaves like I'd hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace)
   * Sometimes/eventually the laptop becomes completely unresponsive.

   I only recently figured out that the problem seemed to happen after I
  closed the lid and opened it back up.

  I'm going to try switching my "When laptop lid is closed:" option to
  "Do nothing" to see if that helps me avoid this crippling and
  seemingly random (before I figured out that it might be related to the
  lid closing) possession.
