I'm running on Gentoo 1.4rc1 (with updates) and I can confirm that
XFree 4.2.1 in various releases has had problems with the lid switch
on my 800c. Basically once it's pressed it would not turn on
again. Loosing sync when switching the display to/from text-mode and
graphics was also a problem. I'm now running with XFree 4.3.0 with up
to date drm-modules for 4.3.0 and lid switch and sync problems are
gone. 

I still have a problem what when i press the log out button in Gnome
2.2 and the scren is faded, then the machine will isntantly do a hard
reset. 

My kernel is 2.4.21-pre7 with ACPI 20030328 and preempt applied to
it. Also running with a custom DSDT that makes most stuff work,
including turning the brightness up and down :)

mvh,
A
