I have this problem on a Dell Latitude X300 using ubuntu 9.10 and
kubuntu 9.10. In 9.04 it doesn't  happen. My video card is 00:02.0 VGA
compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated
Graphics Device [8086:3582] (rev 02). I have tested the built'in kernel
and 2.6.31.rc9 with the same result. When I close the lid and open again
the screen remains blank appearing only the cursor without movement. I
can't change the tty or force the reboot via REISUB combination. I only
can press the power button to force it to shutdown.

I have modified the grub.cfg to include "nomodeset". This prevents the
computer to hang, but the screen becomes corrupted when the lid is
opened. You can fix it by changing from tty7 to other tty, and then
returning to tty7.

Hope this helps and thanks to all!
