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

[DrSpirograph]

I have a Compaq Presario M2000 (same model?) and have seen the same in
both Dapper and Edgy. In Edgy I'm getting that message everytime I
logged in, in Dapper when I had it configured to hibernate on lid down
it would hibernate as soon as I logged in. After that though, it seemed
to detect lid events correctly.

ie, after I restored from the erronious hibernate, the next time I shut
the lid, it would hibernate.
