This problem is affecting me since i started using a Dual Head schema (Laptop Monitor + LCD monitor).
I'm having this problem since Ubuntu 9.10 and it's really annoying!!!! I use dual monitors everyday at work, and when i leave work i put my laptop in sleep mode hoping that when i get in class or home, all my documents, programs and setup is going to be running as it should.
Sometimes i get lucky and Ubuntu wakes just fine, but most times it crashes and i end up loosing all my setup and need to open all my programs again.
This is bad because the system becomes untrusty... I keep saving my things like crazy hoping that in one of these crashes i do not miss anything unsaved...
My setup is a Dell Vostro 1400 (1440x900) + LG LCD 17' Monitor (1280x800).
I have tried to solve this problem by switching to a Dell Vostro 1520 (1280x800) but it did'nt seem to work any better :(
Every new version of Ubuntu i try to quikly update to check if this problem is fixed but it's not... I noticed that is not fixed even on 11.04... So i wont update, for now. I'm going to wait for 11.10.
I'm about to give up my Dual Head setup...
Another idea is to switch distro as Suraj have suggested that a newer version of Xorg apparently fixes this. I think i'm going back to Gentoo. It's complicated, and uses a lot of machine power to compile things, but at least i can use newer versions of base software not depending on Ubuntu.
Same thing here.
