I used acpi event scripts on some of my notebooks. But on my new Thinkpad X230 the brightness keys don't work out of the box. I don't know what the problem is with this. With xfce-power-manager they work. And I don't want another tool for every key to work. One tool should handle all. ;-) As a workaround I defined the brightness keys in openbox/rc.xml to execute xbacklight, and handle lid close with acpi events as on my other notebooks. But that's all not satisfactory. Linux is a continuous construction area. :-( Jochen ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
Re: [DNG] No action on lid close with xfce4-power-manager
I have suspend on lid close working on fluxbox. ACPI handles it. It's just a matter of adding a few lines to a text configuration file. The hardest part is finding the instructions on the internet and I forgot exactly what lines to add where by the time I found a free moment to install on a different laptop, this time with MATE. Definitely not a bad idea to add it to the documentation. In the meantime, you can just open a root terminal and type in "pm-suspend" to put the laptop to sleep so it's a minor temporary nuisance. I'll post to the list if I remember before anyone else does.

Re: [DNG] No action on lid close with xfce4-power-manager
I think it may be that xfce4-power-manager is adapted to the notion that the lid button is handled by systemd-logind. In any case, I made it work by setting up an acpi event handler.

[DNG] No action on lid close with xfce4-power-manager
I have a simple openbox desktop and installed xfce4-power-manager. It handles most events fine (battery, brightness) but there is no action on lid close. The net is full of those reports, but most have to do with systemd/logind, which we don't have on Devuan. Any ideas what could be wrong in Devuan? Btw: what are all these files under /etc/systemd/system directory? What does a /etc/systemd on Devuan???
