Title:
  lid.sh should use vbetool instead of xset

Status in acpi-support package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have both Dell Latitudes and Toshiba Satellite laptops in my possession that
  simply do not blank the screen when the lid's closed (except after the LONG bios
  preset timers), and simply do not awake from DPMS via lid.sh.

  I've found that on both systems, vbetool dpms on|off works great for shutting
  off and turning on the screen with the lid. From my 6 systems at home, I've seen
  no negative side-effects of vbetool usage.

  
  CHANGES NECESSARY:

  (1) /usr/share/acpi-support/screenblank, replace 2nd line with "vbetool dpms off"
  (2) /etc/acpi/lid.sh, else clause, outside for loop: add "vbetool dpms on"
