Package: acpi-support Version: 0.84-1 Severity: normal My laptop is a Fujitsu lifebook p7120. W/O acpi-support installed the hardware notices when the screen closes and turns off the backlight per ususal for a laptop. When I reopen the screen it immediatly turns it back on. With acpi-support installed, closing the screen behaves as before, but when I re-open it, the backlight turns on but the screen remains black until I press a key.
Possibly this is a bug in X, since I can reproduce this behavior as follows: xset dpms force off; sleep 1; xset dpms force on However, for this laptop I can see no benefit to doing anything special in software regarding dpms when the lid closes/opens, since as I said the hardware handles this well on its own.
