Yes, I will add a bug report there.

It's a separate issue, probably not related to i915 driver. However
it might be important that I have disabled ACPI video, and it might
cause later problems so I added that information. However in < 3.1
kernel I also had disabled ACPI video and everything worked without
problems.
This ACPI problem started around 2.6.33 (the first workaround I used
is on top of 2.6.33.7:
commit 1dcdd646523a63a9e6476fd5ef46d82c67bb9a99

disable ACPI video
ACPI video causes problem on HP Compaq nc6120. After starting of X
lid stops working.

)
I found similar bug reported on
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512958 and I never reported
that. I also tried:
static int acpi_video_bus_start_devices(struct acpi_video_bus *video)
{
+ return acpi_video_bus_DOS(video, 3, 0);
return acpi_video_bus_DOS(video, 0, 0);
}
but without success.
Without ACPI video driver loaded everything works, LID button sends ACPI
events, the display is tuned off when LID is pressed. After loading ACPI
video driver the LID stops sending ACPI events, and some other really
strange issues starts - for instance reading
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone%d/tempcauses causes displaying "^@" in
console.

Thanks, I will check that, but probably I will need to disable ACPI
video, because without it the LID does not work so the problem cannot
be probably triggered.
