Ok, running with xserver-xorg-core 1.2.0-6 now. It also updated
libdrm2, but nothing else (in particular, not nv). However, the
behaviour I see is still the same: closing the lid makes the backlight
go off (after a couple of seconds), but opening it up doesn't turn it
back on again.

Since we're discussing it here, I think I'll mention the other problem
I'm having with the backlight in X: xset dpms force off (or standby or
suspend) blank the screen but don't turn the backlight off.

I'm wondering if this might be related, since maybe the backlight
going off is being done by something other than X, something that is
not turning it back on when the lid gets opened. If this is the case,
I should probably bring up this particular issue somewhere else, and
open a different issue about the lack of backlight control in X ...
