Update: The problem was fixed (for me) by building and installing an upstream kernel.
I followed the directions on this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild to build and install an upstream kernel. So now I have this: 2.6.37-rc8-custom #1 SMP Sat Jan 1 13:35:39 EST 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux Now I can leave the lid on my laptop closed for any length of time and when I open the lid the display comes back. I hope this information is useful for fixing the problem in the Ubuntu Kernel. Let me know if there is anything else I can do. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/696164 Title: HP Pavilion dv6 loses display permanently when lid is left closed -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
