Quick update after trying again- Option "IgnoreLidStatus" "False" works like a charm.Thanks a ton! I'm not sure why it wasn't persistent fist time though though I had surely saved xorg.conf. One other question- though the screen looks fine mostly, if I look at it closely, its a bit grainy. Do you think I can change something in my xorg to make this fine grainy screen go away ?
