[Bug 66477] Re: hal (through guidance-power-manager) considers laptop lid always closed

[Piotr Keplicz]

Looks like the kernel *always* reports the lid as closed
(/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state). It also happens on an ASUS M6R with
vanilla kernels 2.6.16.28 and 2.6.18.1.

However, when closing or opening the lid, two different "button/lid LID"
events are reported by acpid.
