I've retested in Lucid. My display now reappears after opening my laptop screen.
However, the mouse pointer is not visible though I can still click on things.
As before, pressing Fn+F7 (LCD/CRT toggle) fixes things and my mouse cursor reappears. This time I only press it once and the cursor appears (and it seems like the top and bottom gnome panels quickly refresh/flash).
Switching to a text mode tty and then back to X also gets my mouse cursor to reappear.
Just as a reminder, my laptop is configured in Ubuntu not to sleep on lid close.
I upgraded to Lucid beta1 a while ago and have the latest apt updates. My kernel is Linux 2.6.32-19-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 31 17:46:20 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux.
It's been a while since I last looked at this..should I still try testing the suggestion in #34?
