Title: Notebook lid blank after booting with lid closed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When using a external monitor on a Dell Precision 5520 Notebook and booting with lid closed ... 1. the lid stays blank when later opening it (happens on Ubuntu 18.10 and 18.04) 2. and login using a Xorg is not possible (a login-loop happens on Ubuntu 18.10) Digging in sysfs I saw that /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/bl_power 0 (and manually changable) when booted with lid open but 4 (and unchangable) when booted with lid closed. Other (eg. power) entires under /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight can't be changed or don't help and changing /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness don't help as well. There is neither a difference in dmesg output (except some additional "enabling Extended Tags" when booting with lid open) nor any difference in modules loaded.
