With loading acpi_video it works now in console mode, i.e. the LCD goes
off and on on lid close/open. When I have X11 up and running (the Nvidia
driver), the LCD goes off as well, but on return I only see the console
message of the X11 startup-session (i.e. the console from where I
launched 'startx') and I'm unable to switch to any other virtual screen
and also not to the X11 session; zapping X11 with Ctrl-Alt-BS does not
work either and I have had to reboot with power-off/on.

Any idea? Thanks
