Screen blanks on lid close - Powermanagement is set to "Do nothing"

Asked by Emil Orloff

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 the Maverick Meerkat, on a dell Studio 15 laptop with a Mobility Radeon HD 4500 GFX.
My problem is that whenever I close the lid of the laptop the screen blanks. This is a problem when I'm using the laptop with an external screen and I need to close the laptop in order to store it away.
In power management, the setting is set to "Do nothing".
If there is anything else you need to know, just ask!
