Well, I just got arch completely set up on my laptop with LXDE. Now when I close the lid of my laptop, and re-open it the screen stays off. How do I fix this problem?
I tried pushing all the keys, and I pushed the power button also. The only way I know to get it back on is to hold the power key down till it forces the computer off then turn it back on. :\

try installing acpid daemon:
pacman -S acpid
then add acpid to your daemons list in your rc.conf.

This fixes the problem for me inside of X (gnome, Dell Inspiron D620). However, the problem persists outside of X. During boot or in a terminal outside of X, if I close the lid, the screen stays off.
Once X comes up (from me blindly giving a command to start it) X functions correctly, but if I switch back to the terminal, it's still off. Any idea as to what the difference could be or how to fix it?
