Bug Description

Tuning the virtual LID to close position on CB system does not turn the display off.

Steps
1. Boot the CB with the latest corwnbeach-menlow-full... image.
2. Move the virtual LID switch from "LID OPEN" to "LID CLOSED" on CB system.
3. The Display should go blank (off)
4. Move the virtual LID switch back to "LID OPEN" and the display should be back.

The LID event in ACPID is not handled.
we could use the LID event handler script from the acpi-support.
I installed acpi-support and the LID event worked.

Jay, I guess sooner or later we need this feature some day. Could you figure out how could we implement this feature? Does it need Gfx driver support?
