[X4U] iBook unresponsive when lid opens

[Dennis Thompson II]

Have you tried playing with the brightness keys (F1 & F2)?  Every so 
often mine used to do the same thing and turning the brightness bask up 
would usually take care of it.  It's been a while since I've had to do 
this though.

IIRC it usually happened if I closed the lid after the screen had dimmed 
in response to power saver settings.  Like I said it has been a few 
months since the last occurence.

Hope that helps,

Dennis 'Sky' Thompson
