[Bug 34389] Re: Lid state is incorrect

[Andrew Jorgensen]

It may be that our ACPI is just buggy, but I have my doubts.  I haven't
tested in Windows but I'll bet it works fine there.  On the other hand I
think there's also a bug in g-p-m here:

It would be better if it reacted to the state change rather than the
state.  Paul mentions external keyboards and mice, well this is
important because I may have an external keyboard, mouse, and monitor
and if I do I probably have the lid closed.  If I lose power I don't
want the machine to suspend under that circumstance.  The correct
behavior would be to suspend on a change from lid open to lid closed,
not to check the state of the lid on a change from plugged to unplugged.
