Oh, and to answer your questions: > do the lid close switches show up to the system as keypresses?
Sort of, yes; they show up on their own Linux input device. To see all of the input devices hooked up this way, you can: cat /proc/bus/input/devices However, HAL claims ownership of the ebook switch devic; the correct way to query it is to ask HAL. To get the current value of the ebook sensor, you can run "lshal" and look at the "button.state_value" value in the "OLPC ebook switch" section. To monitor the value in real-time, you would watch the messages coming out of HAL's dbus interface.
