debug logs from the issue
Forwarding my Debian bug, slightly more info there:
http://bugs.debian.org/606713
My laptop has broken lid close behaviour, when I close the lid, the screen
stays on (Windows XP and Linux). When I open the lid, the screen turns off at a
low lid angle and then at a higher angle it turns back on.
With Windows XP it always turns back on at the higher angle. With Linux it only
turns on if I open the lid very slowly. I discovered that workaround while
gathering the data for this bug. This behaviour happens in Xorg and on virtual
consoles, even if I boot in single user mode and X has not started.
When the screen is off in Linux, the system is still available, I can SSH in or
blindly hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to login as root. If I suspend and resume afterwards,
the screen turns back on.
I've since switched to a Thinkpad for my main system so this issue does not
affect me often but it would be nice to get it fixed for when I need to fall
back on my old laptop and for other users of this laptop, which was fairly
common a few years ago.
