radeon and the bios
I added code to the radeon driver last night to attempt to handle the lid status and to keep the bios from mucking around with the HW while the driver is active. Unfortunately, the lid closed status only gets written to the scratch reg when you boot with the lid closed, subsequent lid events only set the lid status changed bit. So, if you boot up with the lid closed, the driver should do the right thing (assume LVDS is off); if you close/open the lid later, the driver will assume it’s connected. I’ve also set the right scratch regs to tell the bios not to muck with the HW while the driver is active, so if you were having problems with lid events or bios hotkeys scrambling the hardware, please test.

It still leaves me with a weird display after the lid is closed.
I am using Gutsy on a Compaq n800c. It has a Mobility M7 chip.

Please post a bug (https://bugs.freedesktop.org) and attach your xorg config and log and I’ll take a look at it. Is this a regression or are lid events still giving you problems?

It was fine in Ubuntu Feisty. The latest changes seem to have fixed it anyways.
