You might all be interested to know that I have found some intriguing symptoms. I was just wondering if you all had an ati card and you were all using the open ati drivers on it as opposed the fglrx drivers. if so try the vesa drivers by adding Driver "vesa" in to the Device section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, reboot and watch the lid button button mysteriously start working again! I know this sounds odd but these are the empirical facts also try pressing the lid button when loading and you are on the linux kernel but not your xorg drivers and 'hey presto' the screen will blank. We may have been 'barking up the wrong tree' to coin a phrase.
