Works for my HP compaq nc6000 Though my command is slightly different: echo 1 > /proc/acpi/video/C0CF/DOS echo 0 > /proc/acpi/video/C0CF/DOS
My current system is: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS 2.6.32-28-generic According to the thread mentioned in previous post the problem could be caused by the patch "linux-2.6-acpi-video-dos.patch". Not sure if it is present in ubuntu patches. ----------------------------------------------------- Alexei Panov 2010-03-04 17:42:54 EST I have found a patch which breaks operation of Lid Switch on HP Mini 5101, and possible on others HPs. This patch is linux-2.6-acpi-video-dos.patch. If you build a kernel without this patch lid switch perfectly works. I suggest to test for those who have such problem, I have made a variant of a kernel without the offending patch ftp://ftp.atisserv.ru/kernel-hp-lid/ ----------------------------------------------------- -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89860 Title: /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state always says "open" -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
