Interesting - I used to have the exact same problem with my Thinkad A21m
after an upgrade. I was never able to figure out what caused the
problem. My workaround was to switch to external during bootup before X11
was started. Funny enough, the problem went away recently (again after
an upgrade).
Sorry - I'm not being very helful, I guess.
