Re: LCD stays off on lid open

I've reduced the application down to this minimized version:

#!/bin/sh
# /etc/acpi/lidswitch.sh
# Re-activates the screen when the lid is opened again

LID_STATE="/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state"
VT_NR=/tmp/lid_sh

if grep -q open "$LID_STATE"; then
      vbetool dpms on
      chvt `cat $VT_NR`
      rm -f "$VT_NR"
else
      fgconsole > $VT_NR
fi
