[Bug 399636] Re: [i915gm] karmic 2.6.31-2 and -3 lid closing blacks screen until reboot on thinkpad r52

[Zsolt Fabok]

I have a workaround, use it with precaution:

1. sudo bash
1.1 apt-get install vbetool
2. cd /etc/acpi
3. mv lid.sh lid.sh.orig
4. cat > lid.sh.new

  #!/bin/bash
  if [ ! "$(cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state | grep open)" = "" ]; then
    vbetool dpms on
  fi

5. ln -s lid.sh.new lid.sh

In nutshell, replace the current lid.sh with the snippet above (it comes
from gentoo as far as I remember). Note that this step may harm your
computer; if a new ubuntu supported lid.sh is installed by system
manager, some unseen problem can occur
