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. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59-1xO5oi07KQx4cg9Nei1l7Q@public.gmane.org ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
