I’ve had a lot of trouble with Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) on a laptop (ThinkPad 420), and I’ve had problems including:
- Not being able to use dual monitors,
- Random logoffs.
I tentatively think I was able to solve them with two easy fixes:
- Turn off Unity. You can do this in the login screen.
- In the Update Manager, under “Settings”, check “Proposed updates”.
With the proposed updates, Unity may be working; try that at your own risk. With that, I have a reasonably stable system.

Hey, I have Lenovo X220 and I’ve also had problems with dual monitors until I patched the kernel myself, see https://github.com/da-x/linux-kernel-hacks . Also, if you have docking station problems with regard to suspend, I also added a patch for that, if you don’t mind about disabling the DVDROM.
