These are controlled by files in the /etc/acpi directory, and are often
unique to the video chipset you have.  For example, my HP zv6000 uses
an ATI chipset, so the chip-specific scripts contain "ati" in their
names.

If you want to ignore the lid closure, then edit
/etc/acpi/events/a-lid*.conf and comment out the lines in there.  The
odds are, however, that if you edit the /etc/acpi/events/video.conf file
and UNcomment the lines in there, things will start working when you
open the lid.  That's not necessary on my zv6000 but may be in your
case.  It won't hurt anything to experiment beyond a possible reboot,
but you've done that before....:-)
