How to debug a lid button state problem?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm not a kernel developer, but I have a problem that needs
addressing, and I fear that might mean me.  Any guidance would be
appreciated.

I've got an HP Pavilion dv4000 notebook.  I'm running Ubuntu Feisty
(pre-release), with this kernel: "Linux peace 2.6.20-12-generic #2 SMP
Sun Mar 18 03:07:14 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux"

My problem is this:
Whenever I run this command:
  cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state
I always get the result:
  state:      open

This happens even if I'm pressing down the lid button when I execute
the 'cat' command.  I believe this is the root cause of why none of
the normal ACPI goodness happens when I close the lid (aside from the
LCD back-light turning off, but I don't think ACPI is involved in
that.)

Does anyone know how I can debug this, or at least what information I
(as a non-kernel developer) can gather to help out the folks that try
to make this stuff work?

Thanks,
Christian
