Comment 22 for bug 376793

I am running Karmic updated from Jaunty with the latest mainstream kernel.

In my case standby is initiated if I close the lid, but when on AC power, I set it to just turn of the screen, and this is not working properly: that is, the screen goes black in an almost-closed state, but then the backlight is turned on again when the screen the lid is fully closed.

Opening and closing generates messages in lshal -m:

13:23:42.386: computer_logicaldev_input_3 condition ButtonPressed = lid
