This bug is still valid, I can confirm it for my ThinkPad R50e.
I guess it is a bug in the display driver from Intel, but it is _really_
horrible to me because I often close and open up the laptop lid.
The VGA compatible controller is (taken from lspci):
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated
Graphics Device (rev 02)
** Changed in: ubuntu
Status: Fix Released => Confirmed
