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.
