How can I enable automatic resume on lid open?

My problem is the opposite of what is described in How to prevent resume from sleep/suspend on lid open?.

If I close my laptop's lid, it automatically suspends, but when I open it up again, nothing happens, and I have to press the power button to wake it up.

How can I make my laptop wake up from suspend when I open it's lid?

( It's an acer v5-171 running Ubuntu 13.10)

This needs to be supported by hardware through a sensor for the lid-open event. Unless your hardware supports it, there would be "no-one" who will get notified of the "lid-open" event, and wake your laptop.
