I'm having issues suspending Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) on my new Asus U30SD-XA1 laptop. It's a new laptop on the market. Is this a known issue and is there a fix for it?
Basically, whenever I close or put the laptop to sleep, the screen goes black but the video card doesn't actually turn off, and then the fan spins even faster than before and gets hot.
I did see that some people were having similar issues on other laptops and they set the kernel back. I'm newish to Ubuntu, and I'm not super comfortable messing with the kernel.
I am not using the 520M Nvidia driver, because it won't load Unity after it's installed. I've also heard quite a few bad things about the drivers on the Ubuntu forums, so I deactivated the driver.
