  Maybe by that date there was nobody avaible for considering this issue so
I'm trying again.

  The lid problem stills exist on a current Xorg version, even with intel
video driver git version. I'm not surprised since I suspect heavily on a
BIOS problem. I'm coming back with more attached info:

  A more up to date dmesg output for 2.6.22, the dmidecode output and the
dsdt image. All of them are gzip compressed.

  I hope someone could give me any pointer or tell me whatever info is
necessary to debug or solve this. I am available for whatever point you
have.

  Thank you very much and regards,
