Bug Description
Binary package hint: hal
It's very hard to tell if this is a hal problem, but it's my best guess, so forgive me if I'm wrong.
I have this annoying problem since alpha 3: after I press the lid switch in my laptop by closing the display, Ubuntu starts to constantly turning off my display every 30 seconds, despites the lid is not pressed anymore. It's extremely annoying and the only solution I found is "sudo /etc/init.d/hal stop". It helps, but usually not for long, since hal appears to start again (by something else in my kubuntu installation probably) automatically.
Also the display is turning off after I press my WiFi card (ipw2200) kill switch (!).
Some additional info:
$ sudo dpkg-query -l|grep hal
