Bug Description
My laptop is an HP Pavilion dv4000. I'm running up-to-date Feisty.
Regardless of whether my laptop lid is open or closed, I always get this:
root@peace:
state: open
This would explain why I can suspend the laptop using Gnome's power management menu, but why it doesn't do it when I close the lid. (I have specified under power management preferences that it's to suspend when I close the lid.)
I know that at some level the lid switch works because when I press it the screen backlight turns off (although I can still faintly see that the display is still live).
There was one hint of the issue in this email:
http://
Here's a Ubuntu bug that seems similar, but got rejected:

My bug is different than this one:
https:/
because my laptop state is *always* reported as open.
I've attached the output of dmesg and dmidecode.

FYI, I also ran "tail -f /var/log/acpid".
When I do something like unplug the power adapter, I see plenty of output. But when I close or open the laptop lid, I don't see any new output.
