Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Well basicly this bug looks almost like bug #138256 :

When closing the lid and reopening it, the screen remains black and the laptop is not responding to anything (ctrl alt + Fx, ctrl alt +backspace or even SysRq are not working) the only way to get out is to power off the laptop with button.

Tis bug is quite dangerous because the PC is NOT in suspend mode : it generate a lot of heat, and thus closing the lid and putting the laptop in a bag may result in dangerous overheat leading irremediable to hardware failure.

1) #138256 is old (2007) and fix is released, when this is a bug I did not have under 9.04 and have under 9.10
2) Putting the following in xorg.conf does not help

Section "Device"
 ... <other options here> ...
 Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "true"
EndSection

Maybe the solution 2 works if there is something else than xorg.conf where to put this since a few Ubuntu release xorg.conf is minimalistic.

I believe this bug is very severe.
