I have developed an automatic fix based on a bug report comment (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video- ati/+bug/552246/comments/2). Add this file as /etc/acpi/local/lid.sh.pre --- is basically does Cntrl-Alt-1, Cntrl- Alt-7 when you open the lid and fixes the problem for me:
