Hmm, that doesn't work here on my Inspiron 4150 BIOS version A06. It even
seems that S3 (at least on lid close) fails to turn off the LCD screen, from
the console. Furthermore, it doesn't come back in 30-60 seconds also. The
console does respond to CTRL-ALT-DEL though, so it's definitely just the
screen that doesn't work.
Unfortunately it seems the upgrade to a recent -CURRENT broke my X, so
I'm busy recompiling it now to see whether staying in X makes a difference.

The problem is that there are several people in design positions now who
couldn't design the Next Big Thing(TM) unless it involved them taking a
photocopier and someone else's design of The Next Big Thing(TM).
