Hi,

I have a Dell Latitude 830 laptop with Fedora 12. I never move it,
so I want to be able to close to lid and just use monitor, but my OS
shuts down automatically.

Is there a way to enable this and if so, please tell me how

I am using Xfce but I could switch to Gnome.

Thank you,
Edmon
  

CLick on system -> Preferences -> screensaver

left og the "close" button.

Now you will see a nother window which has in it the Action section.
"When laptop lid is closed"  select an action.
On my version of Fedora, I chose blank screen.
However, it "might" also end up blanking the external monitor as well.
What is missing from this set of actions is "Do nothing".
