The default lid function, as it would seem under breezy, is to blank the
screen and lock it with a screensaver.

If you change the way the lid action functions, for example:

/etc/acpi/events/lidbtn

> # /etc/acpi/events/lidbtn
> # Called when the user closes or opens the lid
> 
> event=button[ /]lid
> action=/etc/acpi/lid.sh

calls /etc/acpi/lid.sh

Change that script to call sleep.sh and it should suspend to RAM on lid
closure.

Try running sleep.sh and see what happens.  Any mods to
/etc/default/acpi-support should allow suspend to RAM to function.
