--- Comment #1 from Len Brown <l...@kernel.org>  2010-09-14 02:11:02 ---
bug 5809 required a DSDT AML fix to make lid state work.
That is bad news.  Assuming Windows suspends on Lid close,
it means that Windows is not checking _LID state to decide if
it should suspend or not.

(eg. perhaps Windows is just getting the lid event and assuming
that since they are awake that they should suspend...)

If Linux depends on a BIOS feature to work that Windows never tests,
then Linux will always be less reliable -- for the system was
tested and shipped with Windows...

It may-be that in general, _LID is unreliable, and Linux user-space
needs to stop depending on it...

In the mean time, please supply the output from acpidump for this
box and perhaps we can prove this theory.
