Some BIOSes expect the video driver to clear the lid event. Hilarity 
then ensues when you're using something other than the Windows video 
driver. This was an issue on some HPs, but they issued a BIOS update 
that fixed it.

If you've got Windows on the system, try checking what happens if you 
boot in safe mode and press the lid switch.
