This problem interests both ubuntu 7.10 and kubuntu 7.10 (although in different ways).
I have a notebook HP nx6110 (linux certified). When I close the lid the screen is correctly turned off. Neverthless when the lid is reopened the system ignores this fact and continue to act as if the lid were still closed.
In kubuntu the screen is turned on for few seconds and then turn off again. The movement of the mouse cause a lighting followed by a sudden turning off.
In ubuntu the screen turn on correctly but programs, like "gnometris", randomly enter in paused mode.
The problem never come with earlier versions. And is annoying in kubuntu.
I'm convinced that the problem is tied up to a component common to kubuntu and ubuntu.
I beg you to give me a solution: I don't succeed in working!

Nobody knows how to give me a hand. Can you point out at least me where I can mark this problem as a serious bug to resolve?

Thanks

Go to this web page:

In the search window at upper left, enter "lid close", and press "Search". It looks like the existing reports pretty well cover your symptoms and many others as well. :'(
