[Bug 352136] [NEW] Display configuration not kept after closing laptop lid

[Tom Haddon]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Laptop being used: Dell Inspiron 1420 N. Native resolution 1280x800
External monitor being used: Samsung 225BW. Native resolution 1680x1050

Per bug 346611, after adding the "Virtual" setting to my Xorg.conf file,
I am able to set the display correctly on my external monitor, and
everything works fine. However, when I close the lid on my laptop (I
want the external display only), the screen on my external monitor goes
black. This is normal behaviour and is what happened in my "interpid"
setup. However, when I try moving the mouse, or using the keyboard I'd
expect the screen on the monitor to be restored. Instead it stays black
and the only way I can restore the screen is to open the lid on the
laptop (at which point the screen shows on there too and it reverts to a
mirrored screen setup even though that's not what I've asked for.
