Just installed version sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r7 I usually switch of the LCD display of my laptop by switching the video output. With gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r3 and prior this worked fine. With gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r7 the system immediately halts. I switched back to -r3 and it's fine again.

What type of laptop is it?
It's a Dell Inspiron 8000 with 512 MByte RAM, 27 GByte HD and 1600x1200 Screen I'm compiling kernel with genkernel and boot via grub. These are my kernel parameters: root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/hda4 init=/linuxrc hdc=ide-scsi vga=0x317 splash=verbose
99% sure that reverting the acpi "fix" will solve this *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 66613 ***
