Check out /proc/acpi - you should find a few things that you can tinker
with, including one for your screen; often called `lcd'. If you "echo 1
> lcd" in the right directory, it should switch it on. "echo 0 > lcd"
switches it off. Whatever is managing your power that turns it off,
isn't turning it back on. Look into these. It's not likely to be the
console/X driver's fault.

Hello list,
I've recently gotten an Dell D610 laptop from my company. After some digging I
managed to get Linux running on it, with kernel 2.6.15 at this moment.
There is something odd going on with the LID switch functionality tho:
everytime the LID is closed, the screen goes off, as expected. Unfortunately,
the screen does not come back alive afterwards, it remains blank.
Starting X doesn't help, switching consoles doesn't help either. The problem
is appareant both in X and the console.
The laptop remains completely functional, except for the display.
Currently I'm not using a fb console, and the X driver is the i810.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jan
