Same problem with 7.10 on Dell inspiron 4000. The screen initially blanks for about 1 second, then activates again. If the lid is closed while at the login screen, nothing happens.
I'm 99% sure this feature worked under 7.04. I confirmed the above that /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state correctly shows if the lid is open or closed. I've also confirmed that acpi is receiving the lid open/close. @ubuntu:~$ acpi_listen button/lid LID 00000080 00000003 video VID 00000080 00000000 button/lid LID 00000080 00000004 video VID 00000080 00000000 Furthermore, running the command below, causes the screen to blank correctly, and stay blanked until mouse or keyboard brings video back. @ubuntu:/etc/acpi$ /etc/acpi/screenblank.sh -- Laptop (DELL); when closing lid screen stays on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123487 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
