Try modprobe button
The ACPI button module exists in build 1376.

 Hi everybody,
 
 Few months ago, when I installed FC3, I found out I could save power by 
 turning off the screen when the lid was closed. Surprisingly enough it was 
 done by inquiring /proc/acpi/button/ and running eventually xset dpms 
 force off.
 
 I've upgraded to a new kernel (kernel-2.6.12-1.1376_FC3) and a new acpid 
 (acpid-1.0.3-2) recently, and the /proc/acpi/button/ stopped to appear. 
 The library doesn't appear even when I load the button module manually.
 
 Help?
 
 Thanks!

I just rebooted my kernel... seems that I used an old kernel version. My bad.
Same problem here.
AFAIK you're not alone. Someone broke the lid detection in 2.6.12.

I guess so.

The question is what to do when it doesn't there... ;)
