I have a Dell Inspiron 630m laptop.  lspci -nn | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller [8086:2592] (rev 03)

I had a similar issue after upgrading to Karmic.  When I closed the lid
(set to blank screen), and then reopened, the screen would remain black.
Only way to recover would be to reboot or suspend and resume.  I have
tried a few different solutions (setting close lid event to nothing, and
a few others that I can't remember).

I found that disabling KMS fixed the issue.  (From GRUB at boot, press
e, edit the kernel line and add "nomodeset" at the end - minus the
quotes - after the ro quiet splash part).  If that works, and you want
to add it permanently, sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst , find your
kernel, and add nomodeset to the kernel line at the end.

Can anyone else with this issue try this and confirm/deny?
