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.

Here's my dmidecode info:

FWIW, I also own a Fujitsu P2110 lifebook, and while I've not tried
acpi-support on it, it also handles lid closure screen blanking in
hardware.
