** Attachment added: "Output of dmidecode"

** Description changed:
My laptop is an HP Pavilion dv4000. I'm running up-to-date Feisty.
Regardless of whether my laptop lid is open or closed, I always get
this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/acpi# cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state
state: open
This would explain why I can suspend the laptop using Gnome's power
management menu, but why it doesn't do it when I close the lid. (I have
specified under power management preferences that it's to suspend when I
close the lid.)
+ I know that at some level the lid switch works because when I press it
+ the screen backlight turns off (although I can still faintly see that
+ the display is still live).

There was one hint of the issue in this email:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-mobile/2007-02/msg00016.html
Here's a Ubuntu bug that seems similar, but got rejected:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kernel-package/+bug/16662
My bug is different than this one:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/34389
because my laptop state is *always* reported as open.
I've attached the output of dmesg and dmidecode.
