Laptops :: Mouse locks when notebook lid is closed

Running latest DSL with HD install on an old IBM 560X notebook.

When I close the lid and then re-open, the mouse is locked up. Assume this has to do with the some of the power features of the notebook BIOS.

The screen on the notebook doesn't ever blank out at all....

Is there a power management feature I need to load??

No power management feature in base system. It really only makes sense for notebooks. This would be a nice myDSL extension to create for notebook users.
