If I never start X the lid button does nothing except log stuff into the log file. With X started once, even if it is no longer running running the system freezes. So - what now? Report this to nvidia? Try to work this out in some other way? Any hints where to look? On Fri, 2003-05-16 at 03:02, Malcolm Caldwell wrote: > Hello, > > I am running 2.4.21-rc1 with acpi patches.
