Package: acpi-support Version: 0.123-1 Severity: normal /etc/acpi/lid.sh appears to treat open and close lid events by calling screensaver routines. But the screensaver routines affect all monitors connected, including my external monitor.
So after I close the lid, both my external monitor and panel go off. And when I move the mouse, they both come back on. But I don't want the panel on when the lid is closed. It gets hot and burns up energy. lid.sh should affect only the panel and be independent of the screensaver routines. I have modified mine by adding "xrandr --output LVDS --off" and "xrandr --output LVDS --auto" after the two "export DISPLAY=" lines and removing the screensaver stuff there. But this only works when LVDS is the panel name. Other drivers may have different names for the panel? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31.5 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages acpi-support depends on: ii acpi-support-base 0.123-1 scripts for handling base ACPI eve ii acpid 1.0.10-2 Utilities for using ACPI power man ii dmidecode 2.9-1.1 Dump Desktop Management Interface ii finger 0.17-13 user information lookup program ii hdparm 9.15-1 tune hard disk parameters for high ii laptop-detect 0.13.7 attempt to detect a laptop ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii pm-utils 1.2.5-4 utilities and scripts for power ma ii powermgmt-base 1.30+nmu1 Common utils and configs for power ii x11-xserver-utils 7.4+2 X server utilities Versions of packages acpi-support recommends: ii dbus 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii hal 0.5.13-3 Hardware Abstraction Layer ii nvclock 0.8b4-1 Allows you to overclock your nVidi ii radeontool 1.5-5 utility to control ATI Radeon back ii toshset 1.75-1 Access much of the Toshiba laptop Versions of packages acpi-support suggests: pn laptop-mode-tools <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
