Created attachment 25398 [details] dmidecode output Hi there, I wanted to use KMS with the latest kernel on my Sony VGN-BZ12VN. Similiar to Bug 14649 and 14554 `cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state` always reports "state: closed" to me. A blank screen is the result for me, when booting with KMS enabled. I figured out to add my Laptop to the ACPI LID quirk list. Heres the diff: --- /home/hub/intel_lvds.c 2010-03-07 23:24:59.760927249 +0100 +++ linux-2.6.33/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_lvds.c 2010-03-07 20:52:48.015307446 +0100 @@ -610,6 +610,13 @@ /* Some lid devices report incorrect lid status, assume they're connected */ static const struct dmi_system_id bad_lid_status[] = { { + .ident = "Sony VGN-BZ12VN", + .matches = { + DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Sony Corporation"), + DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_NAME, "VAIO"), + }, + }, + { .ident = "Compaq nx9020", .matches = { DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Hewlett-Packard"), That works for me. But maybe the identifier is a little bit too generic. I attached my dmidecode output. Thanks, hub

We ignore lid status, fixed now.
