I know, in my case its acpi-eeepc-generic that, by default, suspends the 
system when closing the lid.

But thats not the point. What I tried to say is, I do have an Intel 
video card and experienced problems as mentioned in the original post.
I didn't have to suspend the system but just close the screen lid 
(turning it off), then after opening the lid again the screen would 
remain blank/off occasionally, no matter what I tried.

However, it didn't happen to me in the last month, IIRC there was a 
kernel update, I think this has resolved my issues.
