Hi, With my Toshiba A100 I'm experienced the same things as Sudarsha. I think the problem's root probably somewhere in the kernel, because the proc/acpi/button/lid did not refreshed with this bios after a sleep- resume cycle.
I'm realized that the acpid have been able to handle the lid state change, so I write a little patch, and a script for the pm-utils package. This is a workaround, not solves the problem, but the machine reliably sleep when the lid closed. the file in /etc/pm/sleep.d is necessary beacause if the hal lid state remains true, and the power state changed (ac disconnected) machine will go to sleep. ** Attachment added: "acpid lid state workaround" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18969920/lidstate_patch.tar.bz2 -- Lid state is incorrect on Dell Inspiron 700m https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34389 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ acpi-bugzilla mailing list acpi-bugzilla@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/acpi-bugzilla
