Hi,

the output is

/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/info:type:                    Lid Switch
/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state:state:      open
/proc/acpi/button/power/PWRB/info:type:                    Power Button (CM)

I found it interesting that theres a lid switch status listed. So i 
tried with a magnet to trigger it and it came out like this:

/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/info:type:                    Lid Switch
/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state:state:      closed
/proc/acpi/button/power/PWRB/info:type:                    Power Button (CM)

So this makes me think that the lid-switch itself is somehow reporting 
its status but it doesnt have any effects.
