Sorry for the drive-by shooting. Couldn't this be related to that patch?

    drm/i915: give up on 8xx lid status

    BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/540231

    commit 7b9c5abee98c54f85bcc04bd4d7ec8d5094c73f4 upstream.

    These old machines more often than not lie about their lid state.  So
    don't use it to detect LVDS presence, but leave the event handler to
    deal with lid open/close, when we might need to reset the mode.

In that case the current -17 kernel should help as that has the
2.6.32.10 stable patch included.
