See what I get for reading the FM *grin*   The last one I can't test
because my laptop doesn't do ACPI or the lid close feature.  and my
desktop doesn't have a lid *grin*  One question here.  Is there anything
being written to /var/log/messages when this happens?  If there is too
much noise to be able to tell you could do a tail -f /var/log/messages >
somefilename.txt   Then close the lid.  and see if it gives you any
useful info.
