Suspend broken for X200 and X201 Thinkpad in Natty
In case you wonder why suspend is broken for you after upgrading to Natty: Good chances tpm_tis is bugging you. Quite some hits when searching in Launchpad. Seems LP#770272 lists a good workaround.

The limits of "community driven"
So I decided to finally upgrade from Karmic to Lucid. Easy task, only should take some time: After all I did a plain default install.
