-Warning: vbetool needed to reactivate display after lid close
-Never close the lid if you don’t have vbetool installed. The display will be
deactivated and you may only reactivate it with X.org < 6.8.99 running (switch
to console).
-I searched long for a solution and - surprise surprise - have found one.
It’s a kernel bug. Just emerge vbetool and execute the following script when
the OS receives an ACPI lid event:
#!/bin/sh
if [[ ! `grep open /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state` = "" ]]
then
logger "ACPI lid opened. Reactivating display.";
/usr/sbin/vbetool dpms on
else
logger "ACPI lid closed.";
fi
To react on the lid event put this at the appropriate place into your
/etc/acpi/default.sh:
lid) /etc/acpi/actions/lid.sh
