The problem is that the lid button turns the video on, but when the lid is opened again something has to do a video POST. There's an utility called video_post to manually do this thing an the intel graphics cards. Another option is the use of the vbetool, in my case, which is very similar, I configured the acpi tools to issue an suspend to RAM by means of the hibernate script and the attached file (ram.conf.gz). The hibernate script uses the vbetool to perform this actions. Good luck. -- Raúl Sánchez Siles
