I should mention that step 1 only works with the fglrx drivers, and perhaps VESA, because the lid switch is controlled through the bios naturally (I think). I had all sorts of trouble getting the lid switch to work at all (cpu overload.. another bug) using the "ati" / "radeon" drivers.
A way to check is to kill the gnome-power-manager and try the lid switch. Mine worked perfectly if it was killed, so I did everything to disable its effects when it is running (hence setting it to "nothing") -- closed Laptop Lid to reliably keep Backlight off https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41994 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
