Using kernel 2.4.23, the latest acpi patch from acpi.sourceforge.net, this DSDT override patch and the fixed DSDT, I am back to the point where I was when I had just applied the bit_width patch. However, the behavior is now improved, because the lid now correctly reports its state. Before, when I was only using the bit_width patch, I had a lid button, and it generated events, but it always reported its state as "closed".

Interresting. I had to add a patch made by another guy (Shaohua Li IIRC),
and I guess that part give you correct events.
So it's not my fault if your lid work now, sorry :)
