I can say that the problem is even more severe for me. I get hard locks if I don't use EXA on my T42 with a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10. The live cd and install worked fine, then I logged in, connected to my wifi, enabled encrypted swap and rebooted. I could get to gdm, but then after authenticating the computer would hard lock. Using EXA allowed my to login successfully and everything seems to be working ok.
