Comment 11 for bug 206511

Leann,

I downloaded the PPA kernel source, compiled it, and tested it under Gutsy. It works! The bug is no more; the lid button works exactly as it should without needing the above workaround in rc.local.

Here is the output to /var/log/acpid under the new kernel when I press the lid button and release it a second later:

Thank you very much for your help! I can hardly wait for Intrepid to come out now . . . ;-)
