I am running Karmic updated from Jaunty with the latest mainstream kernel. In my case standby is initiated if I close the lid, but when on AC power, I set it to just turn of the screen, and this is not working properly: that is, the screen goes black in an almost-closed state, but then the backlight is turned on again when the screen the lid is fully closed.
Opening and closing generates messages in lshal -m: 13:23:42.378: computer_logicaldev_input_3 property button.state.value = true 13:23:42.386: computer_logicaldev_input_3 condition ButtonPressed = lid 13:23:43.133: computer_logicaldev_input_0 condition ButtonPressed = switch-videomode 13:23:43.339: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = switch-videomode 13:23:47.744: computer_logicaldev_input_3 property button.state.value = false 13:23:47.786: computer_logicaldev_input_3 condition ButtonPressed = lid 13:23:49.241: computer_logicaldev_input_0 condition ButtonPressed = switch-videomode 13:23:49.471: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = switch-videomode -- HP 2140 Lid Close Not Detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/376793 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
