Thinkpad R31, strange crashing, perhaps because of hibernation or what

Hi,

Few weeks ago I've installed Arch Linux (with LXDE) on my older laptop - Thinkpad R31.
Except of this problem which I'll describe below, everything else works fine.

The problem is some unexpected crash.
Well, to be more precise, I'm quite not sure if it's a crash, because it happens only after some time, when the screen goes black because of power saving.
This brings me to an speculation, that it can be some sort of hibernation/suspend regime as well. But I'm not sure of it, if it's really going to sleep or what happens.
Anyway, I'm unable to resurrect from that black (power saving) screen anymore, and I'm forced to hardly shut down the system.

I've already checked the logs in /var/log/ , but I didn't found anything interesting in there from or around of the time of another forced start.

And I don't know where or what else to look for.
I'm starting just these services after the start of system:
rc.conf:
DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng network @netfs @crond @sshd @alsa dbus hal @wicd @laptop-mode slim)
I even tried to stop some of them (netfs, alsa, wicd, laptop-mode acpid) in case that one of them might be causing this, but didn't helped.

Just in case that it can help, I'm using this option "i915.modeset=0" with grub when booting (without it I can't use the system). http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 77#p759477

Thanks in advance for any hint,

Looks like I've found the problem.

It seems to be the http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Slim
When disabled, and switched to e.g. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CDM , I don't have any problem anymore.
Strange, but I'm glad that I've found it.

Arch Linux
