Hi Jonathan, as mentioned before I got the similiar behaviour on a Samsung X20. But its working on gnome flawlessness nevertheless
cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/* type: Lid Switch state: closed So I guess its something Sebastian Kügler (sebas at kde dot org) could fix easily. Its the guy that wrote the python skript used in kubuntu and as he is working at cononical he should be easily getting access on how gnome powermanagement is handeling this different -- Toshiba Satellite A70 always reports lid as closed https://launchpad.net/bugs/70102 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
