=== Intel No Display After Lid Close Quirks: i915/intel_lvds.c ===

A common problem on Intel is laptop lids that incorrectly report their
status.  This can result in the display turning black after the splash
screen but before gdm shows up.  The system isn't hung (you can still
hear the login sound) but the display just doesn't come on.

The bad_lid_status[] list in intel_lvds.c contains the quirks for these
devices.  You need to gather dmidecode output from the bug reporter in
order to add these quirks, but given that it should be straightforward
to construct a quirk patch.  Unfortunately with KMS I don't know of a
way to let the user test a quirk without having to rebuild the kernel;
with UMS there were options exposed by the driver that could be set in
the xorg.conf which made testing easy.
