It seems a typical HP problem For me (NC6320) I check /proc/acpi/video/C083/DOS
I fixed this in 10.04 Lucid, by putting the following lines (both needed, in this order!) into /etc/rc.local
echo 1 > /proc/acpi/video/C083/DOS echo 0 > /proc/acpi/video/C083/DOS
However, after dist-upgrade to 12.04 this trick does not work anymore...
