If I suspend in graphics mode the machine locks hard.
If I close the lid I receive this error
ACPI breakpoint: Executed AML Breakpoint opcode
I think that the problem is the i810 driver. I thought it was a memory
allocation problem so I tried to reserve the memory in xorg.conf with
the option VideoRam 32768 (and also tried up to 128Mb ... I have 1Gb
ram) but it did not work.
I posted the same message on the linux on Thinkpad mailing list and I
received this answer

I think you are out of luck here. Since there is not sufficient
information available about the necessary register values there is
currently no good support for this chipset in the xfree drivers apart
from the stuff the standard BIOS calls provide. This also affects people
which have high resolution displays (1400x1050 and more) since the BIOS
is not know about such high resolutions. People are currently fiddling
with BIOS/driver routine disassembling to work out how stuff is done
under windows (see the xfree-devel list). For the moment I see two
option for you: a) try out the binary only Intel Embedded Graphics
drivers [1] (which according to the website provide Dual-display
capabilities; however, I personally did not test since this driver
currently does not support the 1400x1050 screen resolution I looked
for), or b) use a commercial X-Server like Accelerated X [2].
I had already tried (a) but abandoned since the Inter driver works only
on 2.4.* kernels. I will try (b) since they provide demo drivers. In the
meanwhile I discovered this,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/i855crt
which may be worth trying (but I need a monitor or a videobeamer to test
my external monitor exit and I do not have one here at home)
Thanks for your help.
