Created attachment 25624 [details] XorgLog.txt Forwarding this report from a Ubuntu user: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/352136 [Problem] With laptop connected to an external display, if the laptop lid is closed, the external display goes blank too, and can't be restored. [Original Report] Laptop being used: Dell Inspiron 1420 N. Native resolution 1280x800 External monitor being used: Samsung 225BW. Native resolution 1680x1050 Per bug 346611, after adding the "Virtual" setting to my Xorg.conf file, I am able to set the display correctly on my external monitor, and everything works fine. However, when I close the lid on my laptop (I want the external display only), the screen on my external monitor goes black. This is normal behaviour and is what happened in my "intrepid" setup. However, when I try moving the mouse, or using the keyboard I'd expect the screen on the monitor to be restored. Instead it stays black and the only way I can restore the screen is to open the lid on the laptop (at which point the screen shows on there too and it reverts to a mirrored screen setup even though that's not what I've asked for.

works fine on my side. I test it with ubuntu 9.04 live cd. distro: Ubuntu architecture: i686 kernel: 2.6.28-11-generic xserver-xorg: 2:1.6.0-0ubuntu4 mesa: 7.3-1ubuntu4 libdrm: 2.4.5-0ubuntu3 -intel: 2:2.6.3-0ubuntu2

Should I upload a video showing this? I suspect you're maybe testing on different hardware?

I have a very similar problem which might have the same root cause. (see bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/352708) Most notably, it only happens if you suspend via lid. When using pm-utils or suspending by power-button, display configuration stays intact. Also, if you switch over to KMS, the problem goes away as well. Tom, can you confirm if these two assumptions are correct for your problem as well?
Will you please do the following test under the console mode? a. kill the process using the /proc/acpi/event(use the command of "lsof /proc/acpi/event" to get the process id). b. cat /proc/acpi/event >user_event and don't press "CTRL + C" until the step C is finished. c. close/open the lid several times After the test, please attach the output of user_event. Thanks.
ping...if the problem is gone in KMS, we probably won't chase to fix it for UMS anymore.
My problem from comment #10 can be attributed to my BIOS sending a "video button" event when the lid is closed. For more details see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/352708. Can't say about the original bug report though.
Hi, Tom Will you please confirm whether this issue is also related with the LID script as described in comment #10? If not, please attach the output of acpidump. The latest acpidump tool(pmtools-20071116) can be found in : http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/* thanks.

I'm in the process of moving and couldn't move it with me.
Tom, the bug shouldn't be monitor specific. If you can still reproduce this bug with another monitor, please follow up with yakui's comment# 14. If can't reproduce this bug with another monitor anymore using KMS, we will close this bug then. thanks.
Closing due to inactivity. I think this one is fixed though.
