Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
Dear developer community,
My freshly installed and fully updated 10.04 alpha 3 works perfectly fine on my ThinkPad X100e whenever I am on AC power, however, it immediately freezes entirely whenever on battery and X is running.
What I tried already:
* tail -f /var/log/syslog: just stops on the freeze, no new line appears, not useful.
* acpi=off in grub: no change
* disabled various things on start-up in /etc/rc2.d but no change
Finally, I disabled GDM on start-up and, voila, it worked, no more crashes, but of course also no X anymore. After logging in on the console, the system crashes again on "start gdm".
Thanks, great job guys!!

Just tried a new scenario:
- Boot up in text mode without AC power
- Login in text mode
- Connect AC power
- start gdm
Result: no crash. I'd guess that means that no other program that might be run automatically by Ubuntu when the AC power is disconnected can be responsible for the crash. Consequently, the error has to be with the X server ...
